Verstappen makes special livery ‘request’ of Red Bull

Max Verstappen hopes that Red Bull will consider changing its livery in the 2025 F1 season.

Aside from a number of special one-off designs, Red Bull’s colours has remained unchanged since it entered F1 in 2005, with the current matte finish being applied from the 2016 machine onwards.

The RB21 of 2025 is therefore expected to follow a similar trend, something four-time champion Verstappen hopes will change.

“I am looking forward to seeing my own car, like the livery,” Verstappen said on the in-house Talking Bull podcast. 

“I hope it’s a bit different, I was actually talking about it, that I actually really like these cars as well, with the shiny colour, but we’ve had so many matte blue cars.

“I think sometimes it’s just nice to spice it up a little bit.”

Verstappen was then informed that the colours of the Red Bull logo are tweaked from race-to-race to ensure the brand colours remain the same, saying it was “good to know.”
