The new 2026 Red Bull was unveiled overnight in Detroit: Isack Hadjar’s first impressions of the RB22
The season of official livery launches has finally begun. The 2026 F1 season kicked off last night in Detroit, USA, with the unveiling of the new liveries for both Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.
In Michigan, both teams showcased designs featuring a prominent blue hue—a nod to Ford’s significant presence. The American automotive giant officially returns to the grid this season, partnering with the Milton Keynes and Faenza squads to develop the 2026 Power Units.
Hadjar’s Enthusiasm: “My goal is to win at least one GP”
Joining Red Bull Racing following an impressive 2025 debut with Racing Bulls marks a massive milestone for Isack Hadjar. The Frenchman is highly motivated as he heads into his second F1 season, now as teammate to Max Verstappen. “It all feels a bit surreal at the moment”.
““I’ve dreamed of driving for this team since I was a kid watching TV. I saw Sebastian Vettel win all his titles with Red Bull, and now I’m finally part of this incredible organization. This has been my family for a couple of years now through the academy, so it’s not entirely new to me.”
While Verstappen focused his comments primarily on the RB22’s bold new look, Hadjar spoke about his integration into the team and his personal ambitions for 2026: “I’m lucky that I don’t have to meet everyone for the first time; there are so many familiar faces, even among the mechanics.”
“I started working with the team early in the off-season to ensure I was fully acclimated and, above all, to find my rhythm immediately. My goal? I hope to win at least one Grand Prix “.
