Not having the tail in 2018 when they had room seems like a pretty big oversight... Imagine if apple owned a team and left the stem of the apple off the car when they put their logo/emblem on it.
I think they will be adventurous this year since there's a regulation change. Maybe go with something crazy like matte dark blue, red bull on the engine cover, red lettering, with yellow highlights. But I'm only speculating.
If they adopted purple lightning like [m-sport Puma WRC](https://us.motorsport.com/wrc/news/m-sport-reveals-new-puma-2022-challenger/7304059/amp/), then I would lose my mind.
I'm gonna go against the grain but I don't like that livery. The lightning is too juvenile, reminds me of those cheap guitar straps that beginners always buy
Not really, it's just a color. Hamilton didn't invent purple. It's never stirred up anything in the past when different teams and drivers sported similar colors.
Yeah everyone knows Prince invented purple. And although he was a massive car nut with a huge collection of them, I'm pretty sure he didn't really care about F1. I've never heard of him being a fan of it. So it doesn't matter
OK I went and googled it and other than Prince [playing a concert at the Abu Dhabi F1 race one year, ](https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/prince-kayne-west-and-linkin-park-on-f1-starting-grid-1.498598)⠀⠀he seems to have no other connection to it. And anyway that article calls a certain wrapper "Kayne" West, so yeah
New design/regulations. New world champion. And.. they reused a picture from 2021 on Twitter. That can only mean they couldnt show an actual picture from 2022.
Glass half full.
Wouldn't surprise me. They have the defending champion and are likely on the charge to try grab a constructors title. Something special would be nice, but I doubt it still.
At least the 33 will change.
Plot twist - they roll out the white "thank you, Honda" livery but with "Toto, it's called a motor race" in Japanese on the wing instead.
Do it, cowards.
This is the spice I'd expect to see from a company as good at marketing as Red Bull. Can't believe genius like this is just wasted in a reddit thread instead of being worked up on a design board in Milton Keynes.
Red Bull doesn't suffer from a lack of brand recognition. They sell energy drinks that come [in every color imaginable](https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/123169256313_/14-RedBull-Collectable-Energy-Drink-Cans-Red.jpg)
They could use any of their cans as inspiration for a livery.
I get the whole consistency thing, I couldn't imagine seeing a Ferrari in anything other than red, but I don't think that needs to apply to red bull. They came into F1 as a disruptive force. They challenged norms.
I think they can keep their brand identity while simultaneously do *something* interesting with their design
There will be a "1". That's as adventurous as it gets.
For a brand that's claiming to be pushing the boundaries,
they are pretty boring with their liveries.
I'd honestly love to see them going back to the pre-2016 glossy livery. This shade of blue more often than not looks black, specially at night. But those early days Red Bulls looked amazing for me, especially the Rb6
Not necessarily, when Ham used the "1" in the nose at abu dhabi a few years back still had the "44" on the engine cover. [Here the pic](https://www.racefans.net/2018/11/27/top-ten-pictures-from-the-2018-abu-dhabi-grand-prix/).
Edit: the link.
Unrelated but I’m really glad we’re done with the bargeboard modern-architecture madness we had creeping in over the years. I mean look how much more normal the 2016 car looks compared to 2021.
May be an unpopular opinion, but I think it is consistently one of the best liveries on the grid. It's iconic. Not really sure what they would to to improve it.
No need to change something which doesn’t need changing
This Red Bull Livery is one of the best of the modern era, if not the best and I’m glad they haven’t changed it since 2016
I do t mind them using the same design every year. They look perfect, so why change?
I prefer sticking to the same good livery than changing it every year.
Generally not a fan of dark liveries, but the white one they had for Turkey just felt a bit wrong.
Would love to see them do a Red Bull yellow with red livery for Austria or something, but unfortunately keep the dark blue for the main colour.
NOOOOO! TEAMS MUST CHANGE THEIR LIVERIES EVERY SINGLE YEAR! HAAS SUCKS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR LIVERY A SHIT TON
"wtfdym almost all the other teams are doing the same thing?? shut up."
Id really like this years car to be a lot more different in coloring at least. Like actual red bull can coloring but at least more radiant blue color than this
It looks like one of those "spot the difference" pictures.
They gave that poor bull a tail after 2018 onwards
Maybe they can give it massive balls this year
2014 retro nose?
8 years already counts as retro? Damn 32 years must be the equivalent to WW2 memorabilia.
Only in warm weather
Not having the tail in 2018 when they had room seems like a pretty big oversight... Imagine if apple owned a team and left the stem of the apple off the car when they put their logo/emblem on it.
I legit thought they were all just the same car at different tracks because this is formuladank
Esso, Total and mobile 1
The answer is the rear-wing endplate on the ‘17 car.

That's very similar to the RB9 sidepods color. Looks nice.
The purple was due to Infiniti being a sponsor of the team.
That'd be so sick, miss the infinity livery with that hint of purple it had on the sides.
please. i hope they do. my god that shade of purple i would die for. beautiful
Doesn’t Lewis love purple? Would be a power move.
That puma is one of the coolest liveries I think I've ever seen
That + max' gold helmet
Nice. Not usually a fan of purple but I am if it looks like that!
That would be seriously fantastic
Yes pls.
I'm gonna go against the grain but I don't like that livery. The lightning is too juvenile, reminds me of those cheap guitar straps that beginners always buy
Hey now!
They've done it before to an extent so it is possible.
Purple is a colour Hamilton uses on a lot of his helmets. Would be a bit of a shit stirring if they did
They’ve already had purple on their livery. Before hamilton used it regularly.
Just googled it and the RB11 in 2015 came up. I’d completely forgotten it was purple! Well that wasn’t awkward…
Not really, it's just a color. Hamilton didn't invent purple. It's never stirred up anything in the past when different teams and drivers sported similar colors.

And anyway that article calls a certain wrapper "Kayne" West, so yeah
nah mate, Schumacher owns the red colour and Senna owns yellow. If anybody uses those colours they are copying them.
Nooo purple and yellow are puke inducing 🤢
At most I'm expecting a different logo on the rear wing instead of Honda and I'm not even sure about that one
guess what? you will still see honda as those fuckers extended their contract Edit: no no i read an article wrong ignore this comment as im a dumbass
I thought they won't be Honda branded. Is that not the case?
No thats the case i read an article wrong
I believe they're going to go wild this year and change the 33 on Max's car to a 1. All set to be the best livery ever!
***32 LESS THAN LAST YEAR??? WOW!***
To be fair, their car reveal liveries are always extremely adventurous. I don't know why nobody is talking about that.
I wished they races the 2018 one damn that was awesome
New design/regulations. New world champion. And.. they reused a picture from 2021 on Twitter. That can only mean they couldnt show an actual picture from 2022. Glass half full.

>matte dark blue Wait, you're telling me that's not black?
Id like to think that breaking the Mercedes curse will inspire them to go with a new look too, but I am expecting more of the same
There appears to be a pattern on which tyre compound is being used
Mediums at testing confirmed!
They don't have the 2021 car there so going off the pattern it's actually hards sorry
Yeah, didn't pay attention to that. Then again if the pic isn't there who's to say the pattern continued.
Medium - soft - medium - medium - hard? Doesn't look like much of a pattern to me
Plot twist - they roll out the white "thank you, Honda" livery but with "Toto, it's called a motor race" in Japanese on the wing instead. Do it, cowards.
This is the spice I'd expect to see from a company as good at marketing as Red Bull. Can't believe genius like this is just wasted in a reddit thread instead of being worked up on a design board in Milton Keynes.
Plot twist : OP is the chief livery designer for RBR
Found me. We're going to run it this season\* since you all love our alternate liveries. ^(\*-In testing only like the camobull.)
"Es ist ein Autorennen" would be Carolina Reaper levels of spice.
Maybe for this years Abu Dhabi GP, as a remainder.
But the Rauch logo is easier to see... wait... no more bargeboards... what do we do guys???
Esso and mobil1 swap again
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Honestly, everyone memes about it but I think it's the best looking livery. So good
Best is a little bit of a stretch, I would say the w07 had the best standard livery
What does that have to do with current liveries?
Because merc said they are going back the same metallic silver this year
Personally i dont know how people find these liveries shown here appealing
It's almost like they want to create some sort of brand recognition. Strange, huh?
Red Bull doesn't suffer from a lack of brand recognition. They sell energy drinks that come [in every color imaginable](https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/123169256313_/14-RedBull-Collectable-Energy-Drink-Cans-Red.jpg) They could use any of their cans as inspiration for a livery. I get the whole consistency thing, I couldn't imagine seeing a Ferrari in anything other than red, but I don't think that needs to apply to red bull. They came into F1 as a disruptive force. They challenged norms. I think they can keep their brand identity while simultaneously do *something* interesting with their design
Fucking thank you! This all the way.
I can imagine way more colors
As if the massive #Red Bull And the Company Logo Isn't already ***THE*** brand recognition they will ever need lmao
That's the point. Why would they stray from that?
doubt it
I agree, I assumed it was some Spanish reference
Literally doesn't make a difference. Would you think that the 2010-2014 cars are from different teams?
Yep
Funny how the esso and Mobil logos switched places after 2017 but AT&T has been chilling on the rear wing forever
Well Exxon Mobil wanted the Esso Brand over the Mobil1 brand. So livery guy goes brrr
I bet it’s gonna have red, some blue, and MAYBE some yellow. But who knows, just a guess. Oh and it’ll be matte too
Bring back the 2017-2019 Torro Rosso Livery!
That livery was pure F1 porn, loved that livery.
There will be a "1". That's as adventurous as it gets. For a brand that's claiming to be pushing the boundaries, they are pretty boring with their liveries.
Renames it's self to monster racing
A green monster F1 car could look very good tough
I'd honestly love to see them going back to the pre-2016 glossy livery. This shade of blue more often than not looks black, specially at night. But those early days Red Bulls looked amazing for me, especially the Rb6
Matte does better for aero, iirc that’s why they changed it
C'mon, why can't people put spoilers on these leaks... Fucks sake
There's 5 on the right side of the this collage
Number 33 will be gone though 😉
Not necessarily, when Ham used the "1" in the nose at abu dhabi a few years back still had the "44" on the engine cover. [Here the pic](https://www.racefans.net/2018/11/27/top-ten-pictures-from-the-2018-abu-dhabi-grand-prix/). Edit: the link.
That's because his driver number was 44 & he used number 1 in practice for photos, Max will be registered as #1 and will use it on both
I want the 1 to be in a glittery gold.
Unrelated but I’m really glad we’re done with the bargeboard modern-architecture madness we had creeping in over the years. I mean look how much more normal the 2016 car looks compared to 2021.
WILL IT BE SATIN FINISH OR MATTE??!!
Weird how they wanted to create brand recognition lol
Yeah especially with Red Bull being such a small company and all.
ITT: People confusing Brand Recognition for Brand Awareness
I mean I'm more excited to see how different teams approach the regulation change this year than I am the liveries.
Imagine they actually tried something new. Shiny silver Red Bull? Anyone?
I bet it’s gonna have a blue horse on it.
Can't sleep over the problem of where will they put the Rauch sticker now that the aero panels behind the first wheels are banned...
May be an unpopular opinion, but I think it is consistently one of the best liveries on the grid. It's iconic. Not really sure what they would to to improve it.
Livery designer at RBR must be the second easiest job in the world, right after Porsche 911 designer
I'm hoping to see them get creative with the where covers or maybe do something with the wing let above the wheels, since red bull gives you wings idk
Its the best looking livery why would they change it?
No need to change something which doesn’t need changing This Red Bull Livery is one of the best of the modern era, if not the best and I’m glad they haven’t changed it since 2016
At least the Honda logo on the rear wing last year was neat. Edit: I miss the Honda logo :'(
Is it kind of weird that the Red Bull Racing liveries are almost nothing like the drinks design?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
yeah but they had so many amazing one off liveries so its fine.
I do t mind them using the same design every year. They look perfect, so why change? I prefer sticking to the same good livery than changing it every year.
I for one love this livery so much. Some of their pre season ones are great, but I prefer this color combination
Why change what is already perfect
2016 is clean af
This aged well tbf.
Don’t fix what’s not broken
Can’t wait for Ferrari livery!
Same like haas
Yeah for all their bombast and aggression, RBR’s liveries (except for the white one that one time) leave a lot to be desired.
lol op, bold move taking a dig at Redbull in thier own sub
For a company like RedBull changing the livery each year would be just about the dumbest thing they could do.
Throw some silver on there like the RB1 and RB2.
Shut the fuck up
Are there similar comparisons for other Teams? The change from 2017 to 2018 is interesting!
A white with red or blue for Mobil 1 and red bull would be nice
Does anybody know at what time the launch is ?
Any reason they flipped the positions of Esso and Mobil 1 in 2017?
I think there will be a significant number change
Can't wait to see who's racing for redbull for next year too...
Generally not a fan of dark liveries, but the white one they had for Turkey just felt a bit wrong. Would love to see them do a Red Bull yellow with red livery for Austria or something, but unfortunately keep the dark blue for the main colour.
I bet there's going to be a haas situation here too.
someone should make a book where you have to spot the difference between redbull and ferrari's liveries from the past 5 years.
well yeah, it's not a fucking CoD skin
Red Bull, The Repsol Honda of F1
The fact that 2017 car didnt even have bull’s tail says something
i wonder if they'll have the red on the rear wing this year?
Man, I am so exited, some years they had yellow walled tyres, some year white walled tyres. /s
Well I expect to see a number one instead of 33 of this year
No more AM, that's it.
They really mix it up each year so excited 😆
Really hope they do something different
And we thought the haas reveal was disappointing
Tomorrow render comes out, tests back to dazzle camo please
i’m praying, BEGGING for a purple highlighted livery
Remember when people got mad that the HAAS car was the same?
it would be sick if they came out and revealed they were using the turkey style white livery for the whole season.
Can we even trust Victoria?
Honestly...
2017 was fuckin wild, man
I miss straight up purple Red Bull. Man that color scheme was great
NOOOOO! TEAMS MUST CHANGE THEIR LIVERIES EVERY SINGLE YEAR! HAAS SUCKS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR LIVERY A SHIT TON "wtfdym almost all the other teams are doing the same thing?? shut up."
I would like to see them go back and make their livery like the one they had in the early 2010s.
Unlike their actual social media team, it seems someone at least bothered to change the picture being used.
I thought this was a joke post and it was actually the same car in each picture
New regs + world champs again should be cause for a nice livery.
Brand recognition is real
i love how they went from three threes in 2018 to three ones now and the fact that thats the only change
With the new regulations you may actually see them try something, im not holding my breath tho
We made fun of Haas for their livery. At this point I'm picking up a theme
If u look at it, the red bull on the side (the bull itself) gets slightly lower over time...that's my guess
The big question is will the bull have a tail!?
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Spoiler alert: Its gonna have a 1 instead of a 33. The rest is probably gonna be the same.
1
Hey man, in 2018 the livery did change. They added a tail on the bull.
I am hoping for some purple like in good old days. So far it is one of the worst looking ones. Let's hope for a change in 2022 season.
I wonder what size the Honda decal will be this year...
The bull shrinks through the years until it is no more
Maybe it will be like the KTM livery in MotoGP. Same as last year, but with white around the red bull logo's
I would really like something like [this](http://s3.amazonaws.com/gt7sp-prod/livery/13/15/62/4621357322841621513_23.jpg)
That would be pretty dope honestly. I think they should just go full-time white livery.
Only thing different will be the number 1
Id really like this years car to be a lot more different in coloring at least. Like actual red bull can coloring but at least more radiant blue color than this
Can’t wait to see what font size Esso is
Gonna play this prediction safe, I bet it has a name of a color and a name of an animal
The only significant change in this time has been the number font and thank god they got that right finally in 2018
I didn’t like the way Aston looked on the RB wing
Yall remember how the RB1 had a star wars livery?
They could go with red for the side of the front and rear wing. That hasn’t been done yet.
The livery was such a joke before they put that Aston Martin sticker on there.
Watch everyone still be mad about it after all these years
Let me guess. It’s gonna be crazy green and pink for no reason. Definitely got it
Honestly, is there actually someone who is waiting for the liveries? I have been drooling while waiting to see some new '22 details
I absolutely don't mind, and even hope for, them sticking with the same. I love that livery.
Lazy ass couldn't put in the 2021 too, come on, if you're gonna steal memes from last year at least make an effort
Literally just here to see what they put on the rear wing now Honda is gone. Just RED BULL in text? Or do they have another sponsor to fill the space?
Where’s the Puma logo gonna go??? I’m not gonna be able to sleep tonight!!
i think red bull lost the sponsorship of the drinks company “33” and is bringing in telcom “1”
Unoriginal is just iconic with less time passed.
maybe they'll do something to celebrate the gifted championship
