Meet Aston Martin Red Bull Racing’s Honda-powered challenger for the 2019 Formula 1 season, dubbed the RB15. This is the car Red Bull hopes will be able to keep up with Mercedes and Ferrari, after ditching Renault power in favor of Japanese muscle.
Unfortunately this isn’t the final race livery, as it’s just a one-off graphic, which is something we’re used to seeing from Red Bull on a yearly basis. It’s no Camo-Bull though.

Starting with this upcoming season, Max Verstappen will race alongside a new teammate and former Toro Rosso star Pierre Gasly, who replaces Daniel Ricciardo. Gasly finished last season with a total of 29 points, which may not seem like much, but it was considerably more than his teammate Brendon Hartley’s 4 points.
Verstappen meanwhile was fourth in the Drivers Standings, with a total of 249 points, just two points shy of third-place Kimi Raikkonen, and two points clear of Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas.
As for what the RB15 will look like in a few weeks, expect the team’s regular colors to return and accommodate current manufacturer and sponsor logos such as Red Bull, Tag Heuer, Aston Martin and of course, Honda, whose branding now appears on the engine cover of this one-off livery. As a result the TAG Heuer logo had to be moved from where the Honda logo is now, to right in front of the cockpit.
