Formula 1 heads to Texas for the United States GP this weekend. The US has grown to become one of the most important markets for the sport in recent years. The race at the Circuit of the Americas has a massive fanbase. As such, Red Bull Racing was keen on running a special one-off livery in Austin to mark the occasion of this iconic spectacle.

Red Bull revealed its US GP livery on Twitter. The Milton Keynes-based team used American colors: red, white, and blue. The three colors span across the bottom half of the car to pay homage to the ‘Land of the Free.’ A few giant stars are prevalent on the car as well, which seem to be inspired by the 50 stars on the American flag.

Moreover, the flag of Texas is on the rear wing of the RB-19 as the race takes place in Austin. Certainly, the Red Bull RB-19 blends in perfectly in the US with its new colors. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez would love to get behind the wheel of their newly-painted machine this weekend. Notably, the Austrian team had previously run a special livery for the Miami GP earlier this year.
