Red Bull Racing’s 2023 is underway now! As of this moment, the Milton-Keynes-based outfit is in the midst of their livery reveal in New York. However, fans were given a sneak peek into the themes they should expect. Just before the actual launch got underway, the team revealed the official 2023 race suits to be donned by reigning champion Max Verstappen and teammate Sergio Perez.

The Bulls had really hyped their fans when yesterday they teased a massive change! However, it would appear that it was all a false alarm. At least that’s what the fans now fear after looking at the released pictures of the new team kit. Earlier, the fans got a taste of the merchandise they would be donning when it had supposedly been leaked. It must be said that the fans weren’t really accepting of it at all! And now, Red Bull have taken another hit.
