Red Bull Racing RB22
Red Bull's first car with Ford-badged power, in which Max Verstappen ended Ford's 23-year wait for a Formula One win.
About the Red Bull Racing RB22
The RB22 is the first Red Bull Racing car powered by the Red Bull Ford DM01 power unit, marking Ford's return to Formula One and the first Red Bull without Honda power since the RB14 of 2018. It was unveiled in Detroit on 15 January 2026 in a new glossy blue and black livery, with Pierre Waché overseeing the chassis and Ben Hodgkinson the engine. Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar had a difficult start, but Verstappen won the Bahrain Grand Prix, held at Sepang in Malaysia because of the war in Iran, then the Singapore and Mexico City Grands Prix. After Mexico City, Red Bull was third in the Constructors' Championship with 382 points.
