Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad have given their first reaction to the new car for the upcoming season after they revealed this season's car in Detroit.

Speaking at an event with engine partners Ford, Lawson, who started last season at Red Bull Racing, said he was eager to kick off 2026.

He said, “Launching the 2026 livery here in Detroit makes the moment feel even more special. The history of innovation in this place really reflects what this team is building for the future. The partnership between Ford and Red Bull, the energy around the team, and the ambition for what’s ahead make this an incredibly exciting time to be part of VCARB. I’m more motivated than ever to push forward and help turn that vision into results on track.”

Meanwhile, British driver Lindblad, who will make his F1 debut after competing last year in the Formula 2 series, added: “This moment is honestly surreal. To be introduced as a Formula One driver at an event like this, in such an iconic setting, is something I’ll never forget. The team’s vision, the new power unit, and the belief they’ve shown in me mean a lot. I’m ready to learn, to work, and to give everything on track as we start this new chapter together.”
