The Woking-based Formula 1 team have revealed their 2026 livery live in Bahrain.

Drivers Oscar Piastri and World Champion team mate Lando Norris were alongside CEO Zak Brown and team principal Andrea Stella in their garage as they showed the world their 2026 contender.

Lando Norris, who will run the number 1 this year, has said: “We’re all excited to get the season going.

“A lot of new things on the car we need to learn about as a team.”

Team mate Oscar Piastri said: ” A big challenge for everyone.

“The cars themselves, the behaviour is quite different.”

The city of Manama was lit up in papaya as the team unveiled their challenger.

Zak Brown, CEO, has said: ” Definitely in the papaya era.”

Norris said: “As much as I liked the test livery, this will look better throughout the season.”

As drivers had an outing in the car during the Barcelona test, Norris compared the new car to an F2 car, more power but less grip.

When asked about the size of the car, Piastri hopes that it will be better for the tighter and slower speed circuits, such as Monaco.
