Red Bull to honour Honda with a special livery at the Japanese Grand Prix

Red Bull Racing will travel to Suzuka with a special livery for next weekend's Japanese Grand Prix in honour of Honda.

Normally, the Austrian team always have their iconic blue livery with red and yellow accents, but for the third Grand Prix of the 2025 season, their livery is going to be switched up, with the Austrian team paying homage to Honda's factory, who have been their faithful engine manufacturer and partner for many years.

Red Bull Racing are likely to start with a brand new livery, especially for the Japanese Grand Prix next weekend, which will be a white livery with red accents to honour the flag of Japan. It is a weekend with quite a few changes for Red Bull, as Max Verstappen will have a new teammate during the weekend.

Yuki Tsunoda will join the Dutchman at Red Bull Racing, with Liam Lawson demoted down to the sister team, Racing Bulls, after a difficult start to the 2025 campaign. Tsunoda will make his debut for the Austrian team at his home Grand Prix, a huge moment for the Japanese driver.

Verstappen will also drive with a special helmet in Japan. The Dutchman already revealed via social media which helmet he would drive with in his teammate's country. So this helmet seems to perfectly match the design of the car. In fact, the design of the Verstappen helmet is also white, with red accents.
