Red Bull Racing has kept the same matte livery since the 2016 season. Despite multiple fan requests, Milton Keynes never changed its design. However, Max Verstappen has finally confirmed a big change for the upcoming season.

Verstappen has often mentioned his desire to see some tweaks in Red Bull’s livery. The Austrian team recently teased its 2025 design with many speculating it to be much different than its ‘modern classic’ colors.

The four-time world champion was asked by fans about the new livery during a live stream. Max Verstappen insisted that he was happy with the 2025 design. When asked about any new colors, Verstappen revealed that the 2025 Red Bull car will have a bit of orange and blue. Milton Keynes has never really used orange in its liveries before.

I am very happy with our livery… Yes, and a little bit of orange. A little bit of blue.

Max Verstappen declares sim racing not just a ‘game’

Verstappen has been a staunch supporter of sim racing. The Dutch driver has his own sim racing team, called Team Redline. Now, the four-time world champion has acknowledged that virtual racing was not as easy as people think. Rather, the Dutchman reckoned that the competition could sometimes be even harder than real life.

Everyone always thinks that it’s just a game and it’s fun, easy going but I would say the competition is just as hard, or even harder, to nail — to win — than in real life.
