Racing Bulls has, quite rightly, garnered plaudits for its switch to a white livery for 2025, producing a new(ish) twist to the formula of Red Bull influenced liveries as its ‘sister’ team completes a decade with the same design.

Red Bull’s F1 juniors: Where are they now?
While it’s easy to be cynical about the up-or-out nature of Red Bull’s young driver programme and the scars its abruptness has often left, no other enterprise has done more to promote young talent in motorsport.
