Red Bull have revealed their new livery for the upcoming United States Grand Prix, which is fan-made.
For the second time this campaign the Milton Keynes team have announced an unique competition, where supporters can design the car’s outlook. The first one was introduced for the Miami GP and the third and final one will be done in Las Vegas as well.

The winning design for Austin – by Franco Cavallone from Argentina – takes its inspiration from the Lone Star Flag of Texas and features bold, sweeping lines of red, white and blue along the chassis and front and rear wings of the RB19, along with ornate, Texan stars.
“I’m a freelance graphic designer and this is easily the most exciting thing I’ve ever designed!” said Franco, who has been flown to Austin this week to see his livery in person. “It’s like a dream that this is happening to me, seeing my design on the car will be the best day ever, I can’t wait to see it on track.”
Over 2,000 liveries were submitted and each was individually reviewed by Red Bull. The best suggestions were put on a shortlist and from then the fans also had a say in the final choice.
“It’s really exciting to see this unique, fan led competition come to life and coincide with the growth of Formula 1 and our supporters in the US,” commented Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner. “I think Franco has done an excellent job and the car looks incredible showcasing the Texan colours and culture.”
