Red Bull confirm 2019 F1 livery

Red Bull have reverted to their traditional livery ahead of the first morning of preseason testing in Barcelona, having previously revealed the RB15 in their latest one-off colour scheme. Fans may be disappointed by Red Bull's decision, although it was strongly expected.

The 2019 Red Bull challenger was revealed last week in a striking darker look, and was driven at Silverstone by Max Verstappen with the fresh colour scheme in place.

However, Verstappen will return to the cockpit for the first day of testing in familiar colours, with Red Bull's matte-look blue scheme back on the car.

The traditional look had been expected, with Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly's 2019 race suits matching the previous scheme, rather than the special edition paint job.
