The Las Vegas GP is one of the most highly-anticipated F1 races in recent history. The entire F1 paddock is expecting the race to be an iconic event. Subsequently, teams such as Ferrari and Williams have already revealed special liveries for the race. Now, Red Bull’s Vegas livery has been leaked online that hints at the team’s past.

The Red Bull RB-19 Las Vegas GP livery was leaked on X. The design includes purple throughout the sides of the car including the sidepods. Moreover, neon light stripes run across the length of the car. A couple of poker cards are placed right below the Oracle branding on the side pods as well. Interestingly, this design runs on top of the front nose and side pods as well, making it the first Red Bull special livery this season to have such a design.

The purple shade seems to hail back to Red Bull’s past. The Austrian team ran similar colors during its title partnership with luxury carmaker Infiniti, especially during Sebastian Vettel’s dominant 2013 season. Perhaps, the Milton Keynes-based team aimed to pay a small tribute to its historic run a decade ago.

Red Bull remain the favorites for the Las Vegas GP

The Austrian team has won all except one race so far this season. Max Verstappen has raced in a league of his own throughout the year with even teammate Sergio Perez struggling to match the Dutch driver. It is no surprise that Verstappen would be looking to take yet another win at the penultimate round of the season.

Red Bull are expected to enjoy a pace advantage at the Las Vegas GP. However, Perez has mentioned that the team is wary of the conditions in Vegas. The Austrian team has struggled with cold temperatures in the past and that could play a role this weekend. Nevertheless, Milton Keynes remains confident for the inaugural Vegas race.

Certainly, Red Bull would be looking to win the Las Vegas GP. However, rivals such as McLaren and Ferrari are likely to put their best efforts in the race. The conditions of the Vegas street circuit remain unknown for the entire grid. As such, it remains to be seen if Milton Keynes can emerge victorious in Vegas.
