Racing Bulls VCARB 03
Launched in Detroit, the home of Ford, this is Racing Bulls' first Ford-powered car, raced by Liam Lawson and rookie Arvid Lindblad.
About the Racing Bulls VCARB 03
The VCARB 03 was shaped by former technical director Jody Egginton and developed under chief technical officer Tim Goss, and it is drastically different from its predecessor because of the 2026 regulation changes. It uses the Red Bull Ford DM01 power unit and a Red Bull Technology gearbox, and was launched alongside the RB22 in Detroit, the home of Ford, on 15 January 2026. Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, in his first Formula One season, are its regular drivers, with Yuki Tsunoda standing in from the Dutch Grand Prix until Azerbaijan while Lawson replaced the injured Isack Hadjar at Red Bull. After the Mexico City Grand Prix, Racing Bulls was fifth in the Constructors' Championship with 108 points.
