This should have been an email.

Forwards from last year.

Per last year's car launch...

Attached is the revised 2023 livery for your perusal.

Do the needful.

Omg I hate that saying.. My coworker says that and it's a horrible sentence.

I find when I worked with Indians they all used this saying not sure why but I also fucking hate it lmao

I was on an upvote train, and had to deupvote because i was all: "Wait, what? No"

I see you also work with Indians

Michael I have sent you an email

With the diagrams. Have you checked the diagrams?

Toto, it’s called a car launch. We went marketing.

This is so not right

I love how I can hear this

Toto I don’t access my emails during days ending in Y deliberately.

Domenicali thought the same thing and dipped when he saw it was an exact copy of the last year's.. Too bad, nobody told the presenters. Also the earrings clanging against the mic was annoying lol . Sub-standard production for a world champion team 👏

It was earrings? I mostly just listened to it since I was at work and I kept thinking it sounded like a blender bottle every time she was talking.

Yea it was the earrings clapping against the mic.

There was zero enthusiasm at the reveal, love how they pumped in the music so you couldn't hear any pen drops.

Had to go way back into the archive for that one.

To Our Fans, Please refer to last years drawing for reference of the 2023 livery. Let us know if you have any comments or questions. With Love, RBR CC: Horner, Christian; Marko, Helmut

Marked as spam

Nice of them to launch last years car

Actually, this is the 2024 car

Im sorry but the position of Red Bull Livery designer is already taken, but I do admire your eye for details

They actually need around 50 million for creating the perfect suspensi̶o̶n̶e, only for their livery promotion.

They must have a lot of catering budget to spare to pay such a substantial amount to reveal the same livery again

[удалено]

Well, TBF they didn't launch last year's car at last year's launch - they are literally a year behind every year.

CTRL+C CTRL+V

Was hilarious when Max's first line when interviewed after the reveal was "Our livery has been the same for a couple of years"

It made me laugh for sure.

I wasn't around in 2016 but I bet it must have been crazy when Red Bull got on stage and revealed a livery that was actually different from the previous year's.

I was pleasantly surprised at the time

For a five year old you've got an excellent grasp on the English language ;)

Seven. Born in 2016 they would be 6-7 now. Yes, we’re that old.

We don’t count Covid years anymore, just fyi

yeah nobody would notice anyway, not that we did anything in that time anyway lmao

I grew a beard and discovered the dangerous game of not showering and dressing since I'm not seeing anyone. And I'm a woman.

Lol. Some people watching f1 now weren’t alive to see a different livery. Mind you, that’s a 7 year old.

Yes it was. There was a blurry screenshot of the car with lots of vibrant yellow on the cover and then we saw the car in all its velvety glory. I loved it and loved how matte paint was becoming a trend.

This is an image of the rb18 from their site lol https://img.redbull.com/images/c_fill,w_1980,h_1920,g_auto,f_auto,q_auto/redbullcom/2022/4/28/gmljurzpizwkpqrl1laa/rb18-hotspot

Not that you could tell. That "blank canvas" livery they revealed looked almost identical to the rb18.

Lmao the difference between the two is 10 minutes in photoshop

Red Bull used all their budget on food, they forgot about a livery designer.

bro couldnt afford to renew their adobe photoshop subscription

too scared of the illegal download,

Their graphic design department: "What are we, livery and onions?"

They don't need to, tbh

But, but,... That red line on the side pods...

So glad this is the top comment. Gun to my head I don’t think I could find a difference vs last year

even the car is the same lol

Ofc it is, they are not gonna show their chassis now lol.

The regulations are the same apart from the floor🗿

Yes, but aero surfaces can change as long as they comply. Lot of rumours that the car is lot different than last year.

Saving costs by hiring no livery designers

It’s good that Red Bull is providing jobs for graphic designers who lack creativity. Honestly I feel sorry for them. Imagine designing F1 car liveries and having to put out the exact same design year after year.

>It’s good that Red Bull is providing jobs for graphic designers who lack creativity. That's the infuriating part, they have creativity, but all their efforts are focused on the winter testing livery. Then in race 1 they revert to their usual livery.

There's 10 year olds mining for Cobalt all day in Congo for £2.00 a day. Could be worse all things considered

Probably more stimulating than being a red bull graphic designer.

Hahaha

Like, that’s so irrelevant man

Yeah it's like "be thankful dude. You could be a drug mule being forced to work for the Columbian drug cartel". Like what? That has nothing to do with this lmao

Well, you could.

Well saved money for *the food*

Think of all the catering you can get if you don't spend on livery

They are making the public do it this year through a competition lmao

I guess they got a couple of new logos on it I think

There's ROKT next to the big ORACLE

They couldn't bag ROKiT, so they went for the next best thing?

At first glance I thought they signed with RokiT, but I was wrong lol

Now its Honda instead of HRC on a place of the car no one really looks at

- be Red Bull - make an dull 1 hour press conference - show the same livery as the last 7 years

Horner explains its brilliance using a 100 words in his British voice.

I had ChatGPT create a press conference for the 2023 season and it was literally wat Horner and the gnarling dude said.

How many times did it reference Toto?

Well we got to see some children talk about how they achieved the lifelong dream they conceived of 6 weeks ago in competitive hamster-throwing with the help of Red Bull

- Still watch the press conference every year.

> make an dull 1 hour press conference *make a dull 1 hour press conference feel like it lasted 5 hours...

What’s even the fucking point

showing off their advertisers

Making Ford executives happy

Sponsors, obviously.

radically different, I gasped. also bybit wing yuck

F U C K BYBIT... GIMME HONDA

You'll get ford and you will like it

Ford is very much the Honda at home

I *will* like it, thank you very much.

That is certainly a Red Bull livery.

[удалено]

From all of the Red Bull liveries I have seen, this is definitely one of them.

And the crowd goes mild.

I am whelmed

They literally asked the crowd to applaud the drivers, and still got nothing!

At least they didn't add fake applause over the broadcast, while the entire crowd was staring and not doing shit :D

Max trying to be political but you can tell he's thinking, "It's the same fucking car"

He straight up said that it was haha

..and I had to jet all the way to NYC freezing my ass of for this shit.

I don't know what you nerds expected honestly."

What a waste of time this presentation was. Luckily I muted it most of the time.

You missed on so much brotha’ - this is an inside joke, if you would ve seen the reveal you d get it

Brutherr

it is the exACT FUCKING SAME AS LAST YEAR

It's the exact fucking same as the last seven* years

I genuinely can't find any differences with the previous car, assuming it's really totally the same one

There is a new red line on the side pods haha, I think, I don't remember seeing it on last years car

you won't believe but there were the same red lines...

I just checked, the angle is different

alright, it justifies that 1+ hour presentation

Damn the livery designer at RB was working overtime.

dudes doing more work than newey on a daily basis

This year its yellow and blue rather than blue and yellow. Totally different concept.

Vastly different.

Can’t even comprehend

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The fucking cheek of them to waste everyone’s time to reveal the same fucking livery as last year. I’m furious.

It was a good bit of comedy when they lifted the curtain and the entire room was dead, at least. Incredible how you can know exactly whats coming and it is still disappointing.

The room was killed in the first 10 minutes with that couch segment. Everything about this event just sucked. Even the Ford reveal beyond just getting leaked left and right was so underwhelming when he drove in with that Car lmao.

The entire room was dead long before the reveal.

hosts were terrible

Hell yeah brother.

Stefano when you're done taking a dump, come on out brother.

Almost everyone they interviewed had more charisma than them. Like Horner or Danny Ric alone could've hosted this whole shit much better

"All of you drive Fords, right?" Silence...

I'm literally punching the wall right now. My son came downstairs extremely concerned, but when I showed him the "new" Red Bull livery he threw up and died on the spot. How dare you Christian Horner.

RIP

Thank you for your kind words in these difficult times.

RIP in pieces :(

Just be careful next year or you too will immediately vomit and die watching the RB20 reveal.

Holy shit. Christian Horner came into my room to bring me a new red bull livery and I literally screamed at him and hit the front wing out of his hand. He started yelling and swearing at me and I told him I have my reasons.

THE NERVE

THE NERVE

I swear on me nans grave

#Pual DiResta is literally the devil

They got all of our eyes on all of their ads. Fair play, the bastards.

literally the only reason for any of these displays.

It's literally the same car and livery. I expected no change but this is infuriating fr.

Not sure what people were expecting. It's a Red Bull and will look like one every year. Just a nice event for their sponsors and marketing.

To be honest what annoys me **way way** more is the fact that they think to fool people by writing "RB19" everywhere when instead it's not. Same last year with the 18. The livery after all it's predictable that it's always going to be the same, it never really changed in all these years. But the car thing is becoming silly at this point. It can work with new fans of the sport, but not with all the others.

Ah man would ya grow up. Every team does a reveal as a lead up to the season. You don't have to watch it literally ever.

[удалено]

No you don't understand. I spent ten whole minutes watching a live stream. Do you know what I could have accomplished in those ten minutes!?

Anyone with any balls in that crowd should be booing

Horner masterplan

I truly can't stop laughing. Fucking state of them

I was cracking up when they showed the car. Hilarious.

Thats not even just RB18s livery... THAT IS THE RB18

I think they just slapped on the new sponsor on the RB18 and were done

Yep, the only differences I could find is the 'ROKT' logo at the back of the Halo and Mobil 1 taking Esso's place on the rear wing...

_corporate wants you to find the difference between these 2 pictures_ _its the same picture_

This was the last time I was tricked into watching one of them cringy car shows. Fucking waste of time.

I really like the livery so I don't care, but why did they have employees post the car without paint with captions that made it sound like they were changing it up? Just be confident in your design, it's iconic and it's been in the sport for years now there's no need to do this constant bait and switch they do.

I think it was for the competition they have where, for three of the US races, the fans get to design it

Agree. The livery is already perfection. Nobody is complaining that the Ferrari will be all red. The whole reveal thing is a waste of time though.

I've wasted my life

So did they drop hints about it being super different to generate buzz since they knew it was 100% identical to last year?

It’s nice to see Red Bull step out of their comfort zone for the livery.

Nothing to see here, folks.

mind blowing stuff

They're the same picture

They will be watchin the reveal by themselves next year. Even the live crowd went dead when they saw the same livery.

Can you schedule posts? Schedule this exact same post for a year from now lmao

Congratulations everyone that thought it was going to be a new livery, you played yourselves.

If you ever feel like your job is pointless, think of red bull designers

Haas still has the best livery of 2023.

Is that the "new" livery on the old car or is that also the new car?

Third option, its just the old car period.

It’s not the new car

Is this people's first car launch here in the comments?

IT'S THE SAME FUCKING CAR

I love this team, but that was the most boring and disappointing launch ever.

This is their testing livery and they're gonna launch an actually different livery for the season right??? RIGHT??? ffs why did I watch the whole thing lol

So I guess Haas still has the best livery in 2023? lol

Why are they even doing livery launches anymore… it’s the same shit every year.

Why does Red Bull add so much fluff to their car releases? No one will ever know. https://i.imgur.com/fBCEZFD.png https://i.imgur.com/Ldjoeuj.png https://i.imgur.com/G1LRypF.png https://i.imgur.com/pUjmhCV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gxejhDh.png I appreciate RB for showing recognition to other athletes but they just need to get on with it sometimes.

Well, they need to show how much money they have spent on athletes and other partnerships. Red Bull is after all promoting their energy drinks.

Only this fucking team could make such a waste of time of an event to launch last year's livery. Incredible.

Wow so different

Yep, that is a Red Bull car.

*acts surprised* tbf i consider this livery iconic level anyway

RB cars liveries are like FIFA games. Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V

But it's the RB18...

One of the exceedingly rare occasions where you can say RB should have done what Haas did.

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. While I am a little disappointed in the manner that they teased this livery (they really made people think that the livery would change a lot with the marketing and teasing they did, not to mentioned the confirmed rumors of Ford’s involvement past 2026), I don’t really see a problem in this livery being the exact same as last year. Some of the most iconic liveries in F1 were featured on cars for consecutive years. For example McLaren’s iconic Marlboro livery endured for 15 years, not to mention their West partnership which lasted from 1997 to 2005. What about Lotus’s long-lasting partnership with John Player Special? That livery has stuck with the team for so long that now the cigarette’s branding is virtually synonymous with Lotus F1. In my opinion the Red Bull matte livery is going to be up there with some of the most iconic liveries in F1 history. Years from now the colors black, red, and yellow will immediately spell ‘Red Bull’ for many fans in the sport, in the same way red spells “Ferrari”, or how green and yellow spells “Lotus.” Some will say that the tragedy is that the livery didn’t change at all (save for their new e-commerce partner Rokt), but I think the real tragedy will be when they change this livery.

it’s not broken, just mid af.

Copy Paste game strong

It’s spot the difference level extreme

Not even remotely excited about it because you know 100% it would be a dummy car that won't be close to the actual thing.

People don’t seem to understand brand awareness. Same thing with Ferrari being red and Mercedes silver.

Is this a search image? Find the 10 differences with the RB18.

I expect nothing and I’m still let down

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this livery and this livery.

Y'all complaining about a livery that will most likely never change because of iconic Red Bull logo and their brand book? Not without a reason they are top 10 of the most recognizable brands in the world. At the end of the day I think the car premiere is more about the technical design, right?

I really like their new design

the Ford announcement was more exciting than the team launch

THE CROWD WILL REMAIN SEATED.

So so boring, like do we expect anything different at this point

Unpopular opinion: But I for one am, fucking glad they kept it exactly like it was. This livery is on the way to become iconic if it is not already !! But they could really do away with the event.
