Red Bull and Racing Bulls Set Detroit Joint Launch Tonight After Date Teaser Confusion

A US-style date post spurred misunderstanding about a delay, with subsequent content indicating merchandise promotion rather than a change to the event schedule.

Overview

  • Red Bull and Racing Bulls unveil their 2026 looks in Detroit at 10pm ET on January 15, which is 3am GMT on January 16.
  • The launch is set to stream on Red Bull TV, with a YouTube broadcast likely based on the team’s recent practice.
  • A teaser showing “01.16.26” led to online complaints over the US date format and questions about a postponement.
  • A follow-up video of a team t-shirt in production suggests the teaser related to kit, not the timing of the car reveal.
  • The event will showcase liveries for both teams, while full 2026 race specifications may only be finalized later in pre-season, with Racing Bulls also presenting looks for Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad after finishing sixth last year.
