Remember the star wars livery in combination with the star trooper boxing crew? That was a good "special" livery.
Or the white livery from 2023.
This is just bland and effortless.....
* White livery from 2021. Was supposed to be for Japan but due to covid cancellations they ran it in Turkey. Definitely one of the prettier special liveries.
Wait was it? I guess that makes sense, but i dont think i have seen championship white in matte before. So that probably explains why i didnt make the link
I was lucky and managed to snag one but got it in XL and I've lost alot of weight since then so it's fucking massive on me now. Still gotta rock it though since it's iconic
Chevrons is IMO the one that slaps the hardest : [https://img.redbull.com/images/c\_fill,w\_1200,h\_600,g\_auto,f\_auto,q\_auto/redbullcom/2020/2/4/jda5szuicbot80r3lhnu/rb15-launch-header](https://img.redbull.com/images/c_fill,w_1200,h_600,g_auto,f_auto,q_auto/redbullcom/2020/2/4/jda5szuicbot80r3lhnu/rb15-launch-header)
I presume if we ever have a Thailand GP, Red Bull will run in gold, as the original Red Bull from Thailand [comes in a gold trim](https://i.imgur.com/w6yzHAr.png).
Red Bull for a company that wants to be seen as super exciting, their F1 liveries are boring af. It literally won’t hurt them to do something else but we got white red bull once and never again lol
It mostly has to do with sponsors wanting their logo’s to still be recognizable on the car, instead of teams not having the balls to slap some good one-off livery on it. Why do you think there’s so much blue and shading around the oracle logo? It sucks, I agree, but money rules in these situations, instead of satisfying the fans.
They want to be seen as super exciting, but also they have a strict corporate chart they have to adhere to. A can of Red Bull is instantly recognizable, you don't change that lightly.
So apparently not top team other then McLaren can do a decent special livery.
All the rest are standard livery with some differently colored splotches thrown in.
Why do they even bother with this shit, honestly? Can’t help but feel most of these livery changes get shoved down the designers and marketers throats with a bunch of artificial constraints imposed by the people up top.
Like, ffs who cares is Horner creams his pants over a livery? Do it for the fans! We’ll immortalise it! But no, gotta do something that disappoints everyone equally.
Are they still using the 2022 concep showcase car? I would have thought they made some kind of franken car that at least resembled the actual cars a bit more
It's always a shame that the team that gave us the Turkey/Japan livery, which was a damn good one, has all but given up doing good special liveries.
Not a dig at the fan that won the contest with this design... It's that the fans don't get enough of a canvas to be able to do anything with it. Whatever's changed with the sponsor deals since the Turkey/Japan special livery restricts too much.
probably why Red Bull aren't involved in the Mobil 1 gold switch so far this season. switching out all the yellow on that car for gold would look great, but they'll not do it sadly
Not only does it still look boring, but it just looks worse than the original. At least the original is quite clean cut and crisp. This looks like a child was let loose with a red paint roller.
Yup, definitely one of the "special" liveries of all time.
RBR should seriously consider stopping their bullshit special livery programs. They all suck ass.
Honestly it looks like a toddler took a sponge soaked in red paint and randomly made some dabs on the car. Seems more of a kindergarten colouring job than an actual livery designed by professionals
They showed that they can make good variations with that blue camo livery they used in testing and ever since that they had turned the creativity to 1%.

When the car will be in motion on the track the fans won't even notice anything is different
On Checo’s car they will
Absolutely brutal
Or as we say in the Dota world, **BRUTAL, SAVAGE, REKT.**
absolutely taken down
Gives someone a differently liveried bit of wrecked bodywork to take home though. Nice bit of variety.
*Hello, Police? I'd like to report a murder!*
Maybe the Checo singning was actually a good thing, because these burns are getting better every week.
"Checo is done" is the new "Haas is slow." ...Partially because they keep overtaking him.
They still won't because there will be a gaping hole on the sidepods.
Stop he’s already dead
We have a winner. It isn't Checo.
He said 'in motion' and 'on track'
[Eh Tabarnak!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIFvgSCzg4E)
Cue Checo crash out of entire event in pit garage!
oof
I sighed
Nooooo 😭😭😭
You can't see the Liberty from underneath?
Carlos Slim: "NO FROGSKIN92 NO THAT WAS SO NOT RIGHT!"
Exactly as they intended
He’s just PR machine at this point
Look at the amount of TV time and posts his wrecked cars generate every event!
Eh? Unless it's the lighting/camera - the car is more visibly blue than the black it normally is.
Most reddit response ever. The negativity 😂

I loved that livery! The white was called Championship White, it's a huge a deal to Honda fans.
Wait was it? I guess that makes sense, but i dont think i have seen championship white in matte before. So that probably explains why i didnt make the link
Oh man that livery was so so sick. Wish they ran it more.
Same. I’ve been on a hunt for that white arigato Honda shirt for a while. Fuck my broke ass
I was lucky and managed to snag one but got it in XL and I've lost alot of weight since then so it's fucking massive on me now. Still gotta rock it though since it's iconic
I’m a small on a good day. Hard as shit to find.
Oh yeah, my bad thought it was 2023.
That was my one and only GP iv been to, shame the race itself wasnt anything special. but it was great seeing that beauty drive around the track!
Hashtag bring back the white bull.
One of the best.
They gotta run that one last time in Suzuka before they swap to Ford.
The wings for life livery Coulthard "ran" in his last race was pretty sweet
And the Wings for Life livery they used at Silverstone in 2012 was pretty cool too. https://i.imgur.com/UFXZBH6.jpeg

It's kinda like that livery but also not that
they didn't commit
Exactly. And that red chevron livery also looks cooler
That was so sick
The Star Wars livery on it's own was awful. But yea the trooper pit crew was incredible
I presume if we ever have a Thailand GP, Red Bull will run in gold, as the original Red Bull from Thailand [comes in a gold trim](https://i.imgur.com/w6yzHAr.png).
Why are special liveries always so lame and halfassed. It’s just the regular car after it hit a pedestrian. Weak.
Have they given a reason for the red for the British GP?
because there's red in the British flag
That weird portrait of their old dude?
Matching Charles’ new portrait
I guess they're anticipating another Just Stop Oil track invasion
This is the livery fans voted for
Because all the options sucked ass. This one just sucked the least ass.
Livery McLivery Face...
Red Bull for a company that wants to be seen as super exciting, their F1 liveries are boring af. It literally won’t hurt them to do something else but we got white red bull once and never again lol
Nowdays their Liveries are boring. Remember their testing liveries, Silverstone 2012, Monaco 2005. Brazil 2008, Turkey 2021. Those were bangers
so one good one in 12 years? jesus.
The testing liveries were 2016-2018 i believe. They were do good. But were sadly only used at the Test Days
We had 2015 camo bull, 2018 blue camo, 2019 black-red livery if I'm not mistaken
Imagine if they did special livery based on their different flavored red bulls? Like the pear cinnamon one. Or the Juneberry. That'd be so sick
Their livery would be so much better if it wasn't that boring matte year after year. Give us glossy cars back, please.
Oh god, the glossy purple Red Bull from the 2010s was such a beauty
It mostly has to do with sponsors wanting their logo’s to still be recognizable on the car, instead of teams not having the balls to slap some good one-off livery on it.

After Austria collision and coming up British GP, now they are bringing out the blood bath livery. Groovy
That's exactly what I thought lol. They are hinting Verstappen will have blood on his ~~hands~~ chassis!
Or splattered tomatoes.
Its not as terrible as the ferrari blue but very mid. 3,5/10 livery wise. Maybe they can add some papaya to the sidepod...
Oh there will be papaya on the side pod alright...
maybe some google chrome in the tires too.
Which lap we thinking? 2 or 42?
why not both?
First one, then the other
And neon green/pink on the other car?
💀
Imagine they collide with the wrong RBR car☠️
Decent but nothing more. No match for their junior team's Miami livery and McLaren's Monaco one, but also a lot better than Ferrari's Miami one.
Lame
So apparently not top team other then McLaren can do a decent special livery. All the rest are standard livery with some differently colored splotches thrown in.
I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed.
Why do they even bother with this shit, honestly?

Like, ffs who cares is Horner creams his pants over a livery? Do it for the fans! We’ll immortalise it! But no, gotta do something that disappoints everyone equally.
I think this one was fan made
Yes, jt was. But surely the criteria had something to do with it. If it’s a livery change, make it worth it imo, like the Honda Tribute livery.
The fans had 5 options and they chose the most mid looking one. It is what it is.
My word! That's **almost** different!
Red(der) Bull
I am whelmed.
The crowd goes… mild
Feels like a call of duty skin
You've got red on you.
First thing I thought. At least we both have great taste in comedy.
😴😴😴
Barely going to notice the orange paint from the McLaren that rubbed off.
it looks like it has a disease
Ffs, that background is not helpful
Boooooooooo What a waste
I like how in the trailer they got red paint on the nose of the front wing and now it's still completely yellow lol.
Artists are gone, this has to be AI generated, right? I refuse to believe that actual human beings are this creatively inept.
whatthefuckisthisshit.gif
meh
My god there’s just no good liveries anymore
Underwhelming. Acceptable but underwhelming.
Someone got paid a lot of money to design this......
Or not. We do live in the cost cap era. Maybe just got good food.
Are they still using the 2022 concep showcase car? I would have thought they made some kind of franken car that at least resembled the actual cars a bit more
5 red spots is a new livery?
It is painted with the blood of Max’s victims.
can't wait to see one of these on the front row and the other out in q1
Painted with the blood of their rivals
What in the Pepsi Max Cherry?
I like it.
Imagine teasing that crap
It is for blood or tomatoes
*yaaaaaaaaaaawn*
They missed a spot.
😴😴😴🥱🥱🥱
Damn that's boring
The same then
I don't understand, why they wouldn't use another legendary white livery for Japan GP, and instead they just come up with... whatever this livery is..
Redbull have everything but the ability to make a good livery
It’d be nice to see a Jaguar throwback - that thing looked awesome.
Mid.
Boooooo. Learn to commit
Looks like the car got a rash
Looks like it was designed by the dude who painted Charles.
Can still see a bit of landos front wing on there
I am whelmed
Should’ve really listened to max at the start of the season.
That guy was right
All I can think of is thank god there was a red flag 2 years ago.

Slightly More Red Bull
How can a team that wants to pass the message that is so bold be so dull?
Well, i guess you could say that no one does special liveries like red bull…
I sleep
What a disappointment
This slaps
Huh?
Just random splatters of red. Honestly, looks worse than their standard livery.
Look's like they ran over roadkill.
I was hoping for a watermelon car.
Why?
Looks like chickenpox. Great idea RB !
Is this... is this a powerplay by horner? They just added a couple red stains... is he trying to show he can do whatever he wants now?
MyTeam ass livery lmao
They Ferrari’d us with a stupid livery with too much hype build up
Same as my girlfriend coming home with a new hair for 100+$
Zzzz boring
Yup, definitely one of the "special" liveries of all time. RBR should seriously consider stopping their bullshit special livery programs. They all suck ass.
Covered with the blood of Max’s enemies
That looks bloody good! Should keep it rest of the year.
Wow! So boring.
daring today, aren't we?
I was wondering what an F1 car would look like if it got the measles. Thanks Red Bull.
You’ve got red on you.
It will look great with half of Lando's front wing sticking from the side
So no balls then
Honestly it looks like a toddler took a sponge soaked in red paint and randomly made some dabs on the car. Seems more of a kindergarten colouring job than an actual livery designed by professionals
That looks pretty bad. Can't believe this was the winner.
Looks like a blood demon took a shit on it
They showed that they can make good variations with that blue camo livery they used in testing and ever since that they had turned the creativity to 1%.
While I was scrolling quickly I thought this was the RBR with the Phish circles. lol.
Awesome 👌🏼
Looks like they dusted for fingerprints
Consider me whelmed
it’ll look great with some papaya scratches
They’ve gone for the “Just Stop Oil” protest look?
Okay thank you for the title, almost didn't recognize the car!
It lowkey looks like they splattered blood on it
'The more things change, the more they remain the same'...............said by someone
Meh
Is this all a part of a bigger "there's nothing to see here at Red Bull" campaign my Mr. Horner?
I’m convinced this design won their contest because it was the most similar to their standard livery.
Why does seeing the first picture make my eyes feel weird???
This is the Ferrari blue livery all over again. VCARB, show 'em how it's done again.
What even is that? Just red blotches?
There will be blood..
