RB become latest team to release special Las Vegas livery
RB has become the fourth F1 team to unveil a special livery for the
Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend. As F1 returns to Sin City,
Alpine and Stake released their designs, with Alpine reverting to
the pink of its main sponsor for the remainder of the season. In
RB’s case, it has opted for a “sparkling, one-off glitter-inspired”
design inspired by the glitter card of its title sponsors, Visa and
Cash App. The blue and green gradient design “embodies the
radiance of Las Vegas’ iconic bright lights and vibrant nightlife,”
according to the team. The theme will also spread to the garage,
with Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson also set to be decked out in
specially-designed race suits sporting the new design. “It wouldn’t
be Las Vegas without a touch of glitter, and as the home of glitz,
it only felt right to bring this livery to the Las Vegas race,”
explained CEO Peter Bayer. “It holds a special place in the team’s
history as it’s where we launched VCARB earlier this year. Since
then, creative collaboration with our partners has led to
outstanding liveries beyond the norm, allowing us to disrupt the
way we do things in Formula 1, as we’ve seen in Miami and
Singapore. “I look forward to seeing the VCARB01 shimmering under
the lights on track.”
