In a stunning tribute to its Japanese engine partner, Honda, Red Bull Racing has confirmed it will sport a special white livery at the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka.


This change marks the second time the team has ditched its traditional dark blue colors for a striking white design—the first being the iconic one-off livery seen at the 2021 Turkish Grand Prix, originally planned for Japan before travel restrictions moved the race.

🖌️ A Nod to Heritage


The 2025 white livery is not just a cosmetic tweak. It’s a celebration of Red Bull’s long-standing and successful collaboration with Honda, who powered them to multiple championships.


The new livery incorporates a clean white base with red accents, showcasing the Japanese flag’s colors, along with stylized Red Bull branding and updated sponsor placements.

It echoes Honda's own F1 legacy, particularly referencing the color schemes of past greats like the 1965 Honda RA272—a car that won the Mexican Grand Prix and remains a symbol of Japanese motorsport excellence.



🔧 Powered by Honda—Again


Although Red Bull now operates its own engine division, the Red Bull Powertrains used in 2025 are still built on Honda’s foundation. The white livery serves as a respectful acknowledgment of that lineage, especially for a race held at Honda’s home circuit.


👀 What to Expect in Suzuka


The Japanese Grand Prix is already one of the most visually spectacular and emotionally charged races of the season. With Red Bull’s white cars flying through the famous "S-Curves" and 130R, fans can expect a feast for the eyes and a wave of nostalgia.


Yuki Tsunoda, Japan’s home hero, will also be racing in front of a passionate crowd. Many fans are already joking about the possibility of confusion, as both RB (formerly AlphaTauri) and Red Bull could be running white-heavy liveries—a perfect setup for memes and social media buzz.
