Earlier in September, Red Bull Racing came up with three distinctive livery designs and urged the fans to pick one through a polling session. Eventually, it was revealed that the most-chosen livery would eventually land on the RB19 for the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend. Although the polling closed over a month back, Red Bull had done an amazing job keeping their finalized livery an absolute secret.
However, just days away from the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the long-kept secret has finally been broken by an anonymous TikToker. But, before we reveal the livery itself, here are the three liveries the Milton Keynes unveiled a couple of months back.
The first design featured a stunning design featuring the landmarks of Las Vegas in bright neon colors. The second design was entirely poker-themed, with ‘Spade’ card designs imprinted on the sides. And the final one flaunted colorful fireworks both on the sides and on the rear wing. Now, here’s what Red Bull has picked; according to the leaked video, Max Verstappen and Co. have chosen the second one.

Furthermore, Red Bull has seemingly made additional designs to the car, with the poker theme extending to the wheel covers as well.
Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen unfazed by Las Vegas hype-train
Although the entire motorsport is awaiting the extravagant weekend in Sin City, Verstappen just doesn’t seem too engrossed in the hype. The Dutchman even made it clear that he would be treating the Las Vegas GP as just another race weekend, negating the overwhelming off-track shenanigans, unlike the rest of the grid. Here’s what the Red Bull prodigy said:
“First of all, I think we are there more for the show than the racing itself if you look at the layout of the track. But you know, I’m actually not that into it. I’m more like, I’ll go there and do my thing and be gone again,” the three-time world champion said according to Planet F1.
Of course, his words don’t really come as a shock, considering Verstappen hasn’t been a huge fan of off-track entertainment, including Netflix’s docu-series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Hence, amidst such a straightforward approach to the seemingly special Las Vegas GP, can Verstappen come up with yet another top-tier show to hand Red Bull their 20th race victory of the season? Let’s see what the future holds.
