Red Bull will pay tribute to its engine partner Honda with a one-off white livery at 𝓰this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.

Both world champion Max Verstappen and new signing Yuki Tsunoda will race at Suzuka in predominantly white colours, as Red Bull bids farewell to 🅷its successful partnership with Honda.

The design takes inspiration from the Honda RA272 with which the Japanese manufac꧙turer scored its first F1 win as a constructor. The 2025 season marks 60 years since Richie Ginther won the ✤1965 Mexico GP in the now-iconic RA272.

Red Bull sai🌸d “the livery recreates the RA272ꦿ’s iconic Japanese flag motif, featuring the “H” logo on the nose and the simple Honda logo on the rear of the bodywork.”

Red Buꦿll first joined forces with H💛onda in 2019 and has enjoyed incredible success in F1 since then.

Max Verstappen won four consecutive titles with Hond♍a power from 2021-24, while Red Bull won the constructors’ championship in 2022 and 2023.

"Our relationship with Honda deserves celebration, it has been one of continued success and brought the Team one of the most triumphant and dominant periods in our history,” said Red Bull team principal Christianಞ Horner.

“Max has won four World titles with a Honda Power Unit 💟and the Team have lifted two Constructors' titles, in addition, Honda's reliability enabled to complete the most successful season in the sport's history in 2023.

“This livery is a tribute to Honda's success in the sport and the final year of what has been a thor♚oughly enjoyable partnership. I am looking forward to seeing it out on track."

Red Bull and its sister squad AlphaTauri previously adopted an all-w🍰hite colour s🅷cheme at the 2021 Turkish GP following Honda’s decision to quit F1 at the end of that season.

Honda continued to supply power units to b🔥oth teams even after its official exit, and eventually﷽ decided to return to F1 for the 2026 rules cycle in partnership with Aston Martin.

By the time a decision to ma🐬ke a comeback was made, Red Bull had already pressed ahead with i▨ts plans to build an in-house power unit for the first time. Red Bull Powertrains has since received backing from American car maker Ford.

Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), said: “It is quite moving to see the RA272 tribute live𝐆ry on the latest Red Bull Racꦓing machine, in the final year of Honda and Red Bull’s partnership. Our successful path will continue to shine in the history of F1.”
