Verstappen arrived at the launch in a red Honda NSX, driven by his new Red Bull team-mate Liam Lawson, who has replaced Sergio Perez for 2025, with team boss Christian Horner also present.

The 2025 season marks the final year Honda will partner with Red Bull as their power unit supplier, before the Austrian team moves to their own engines and Honda switches to Aston Martin.

Verstappen's appearance in rival colours follows speculation during the off-season that he will make a premature exit from Red Bull, after a report claimed he would be moving to Aston Martin.

However, the team have denied the claims made in this report and confirmed that Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will drive for the team.
