Check out the 2025 F1 race car liveries for both Red Bull teams.

During the F1 75 Live launch event for the 2025 Formula 1 season at the O2 Arena in London on February 18, each of the ten teams revealed new livery for their latest versions of their new race cars. Realizing many fans would want a closer look, Ferrari released images and general specifications for the Scuderia’s 2025 car, the SF-25. Red Bull did the same thing.

Red Bull has two F1 teams, Red Bull Racing and the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls. Red Bull Racing is the senior team, and the Racing Bulls are considered a junior team and an advanced training opportunity for drivers who can perform well enough to earn a Red Bull Racing seat. The Red Bull Content Pool released imagery but no technical information about both cars after the O2 Arena event.

Red Bull’s appearance didn’t change significantly from previous years. Dark blue, red, and yellow are easily recognizable as the car Max Verstappen has driven to four Driver’ Championships.

Red Bull Racing CEO and Team Principal Christian Horner said, “This year, we’ve got a new lineup and Max is joined by our young Kiwi, Liam Lawson. Liam brings a very exciting new dynamic to the team and we look forward to racing against some amazing competition this year in what is going to be a very close World Championship.”

The Racing Bulls car took another course than the Red Bull RB21, and its 2025 livery is significantly different from 2024, with a primarily white color scheme. Driver Yuki Tsunoda, who is driving for the Racing Bulls for the fifth consecutive year, is joined by rookie Isack Hadjar for the season.

Tsunoda sounded elated with the VCARB O2’s livery. “I would say it’s one of the best liveries I’ve seen in my life from a team. It’s bright, it’s white and it’s really cool.“

Is the BMW XM a perfect blend of practicality and performance

What it lacks in handling, it makes up for in comfort and practicality

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

The BMW XM has received a bit of a mixed response, but there’s a strong argument that it’s a logical next step on from the BMW M5. Think about it, the M5 is special because it combines practicality with exceptional performance. The BMW XM does the same thing, though you’re trading a little handling quality for far more practicality.

On a recent venture in BMW’s performance SUV, I weighed up the pros and cons of BMW’s most divisive vehicle. And it may be a better choice than BMW’s flagship.

Is the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 the best sports coupe on the market?

It's fast, good looking, and the sound of its V8 will send shivers down your spine.

When it comes to entertaining vehicles, it’s hard to beat a good sports coupe. And, despite it being a competitive segment, there’s an argument that the Mercedes-AMG deserves a spot close to the top of the sports coupe table.

In terms of direct rivals, the AMG sits in a similar bracket to the Porsche 911, Maserati Granturismo, and the BMW M8 Competition. All of which offer a lot of power, excellent handling, and an eye catching exterior.

McLaren and Motul develop bespoke lubricant to keep them on top

Motul uses McLaren Racing to test the limits of their formulas

Auto Racing, Car, Formula One

My first vehicle was a 1988 Ford Ranger. It was small, reliable, and the perfect first car. However, I wasn't allowed to park it in the driveway at home because it went through as much oil as it did gas. The leak was bad enough that I had to check and refill the oil once a week. The same cadence as the gas tank. That was where I learned the importance of fluids for cars. McLaren hits the Formula 1 tracks across the globe with that importance at the forefront of mind as they compete for the championship, and will now be teaming with Motul to take their collaboration for the world's most reliable lubricant to the world of endurance racing. From the high stress of speed in Formula 1 to the endurance of long-distance racing, the perfect bespoke lubricant is on the way.

McLaren was already using a very high-performance transmission fluid, with an extremely high level of requirements. Our challenge was to go even further: decrease friction losses even more while ensuring lubricant durability over time. The formulation developed with McLaren Racing has been validated to maintain its performance over several thousand kilometers under Formula 1 conditions. And this is only the beginning: in F1, cars are constantly evolving, and the formulation will continue to progress as well. - Julien Plet, Head of R&D at Motul.
