Red Bull has revealed the first images of the RB22, its new car for the 2026 F1 season.
The team previously presented renderings of its livery. It has issued preview images of its car as the first test session of the new season begins today at Circuit de Catalunya.
The team confirmed both drivers Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar are due to drive the RB22 today. The car is powered by Red Bull’s first power unit, the DM01, which it has developed in conjunction with Ford.

@paeschli Yes
Curiously, two years ago one of Red Bull’s own publications claimed ‘DM01’ was going to be the name of the team’s new chassis for that season, but they later changed the article without explanation.

I’d say it’s more 3.5.. It’s like a teaser for the real car with lighting designed to make sure you can’t actually see anything.
