Racing Bulls has revealed a stunning one-off livery for the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, inspired by a new Red Bull Spring edition of its drink.
No stranger to special liveries as a result of its parent company, Racing Bulls has revealed a special livery for next weekend’s Japanese GP.
Unveiled during Tokyo Drift, the new livery was designed in collaboration with Japanese calligrapher Bisen Aoyagi to create a unique look.
Aoyagi will also paint the team’s garage during the race weekend, and be on hand for custom calligraphy for fans.
Drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will wear adorn an accompanying one off kit over the weekend that reflects the colour change, featuring “Give You Wiiings” shodo text.
Racing Bulls celebrate Red Bull Spring Edition can with unique livery
Peter Bayer, CEO of VCARB celebrated the “bold design” ahead of its debut.
As a team, we’re always looking for ways to connect with young fans and the cultures that shape our sport,” he said.
“The creative direction for this special livery and team kit originated with the Red Bull Spring Edition can, and together with Bisen Aoyagi , we transformed that bold design into something truly unique for the track.
“Unveiling it in Tokyo, in front of the passionate fans at Red Bull Tokyo Drift, makes this moment even more special for our team.”
Aoyagi detailed her inspiration for the design, with Japanese culture at the forefront of her vision: “Calligraphy captures motion in a single stroke, much like racing captures speed in a pivotal moment. I was inspired by cherry blossoms and the culture of Japan to create a design that feels powerful, elegant and alive on the car.”
While Racing Bulls’ livery does not guarantee a special off edition for Red Bull, the team will likely unveil one of its own ahead of the weekend.
