I'm pretty sure this is just a launch livery
The car's special edition livery is not expected to last long, with Red Bull saying their 'race-ready' livery will be unveiled in Barcelona next week.
t's not the first time the team have launched with a distinctively different look - back in 2015 the RB11 was launched with the black and white 'camobull' paint job.

That would be a shame, as the normal Redbull livery of yellow and red has become too familiar and boring. Which was why the blue and silver livery of the Torro Rosso was exiting and was one of the best livery on the grid last year. I have found the livery of the Redbulll of the last few years very boring, only saved by the intricate beauty if the shape of the chassis. I can almost guess what the Redbull livery of 2019 would look like.

Hard to tell why they did not go with supersoft tyres

So Sauber gets ALFA marketing alliance. Is Haas next?
AMaserati-Haas union does make sense. Haas would be able to continue using Ferrari powertrains, since Maserati would likely turn to its corporate cousin the same way Alfa did in its deal with Sauber. Haas cars are already mostly Italian, so the deal would seem like more than mere marketing. Haas would get its first-ever big sponsor, and Maserati would have an easy way back into F1.

I agree, the red supersoft would have complimented the design perfectly. But l have to say, this is a truly beautiful Sauber. I think the best Sauber design ever actually. I am sure someone would prove me wrong shortly. l love it. It certainly is one of the top three livery on the grid. And that is not an easy statement to make with the total make over of all the cars we have seen so far.

Quite! Ocon showed why he is not in a Mercedes seat. Magnussen showed his F1 days is numbered. Perez is not looking great at the moment either. The 2026 cars woulD race better in Monaco l think.
