livery in F1.
The Red Bull RB16Bs of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will run in a predominantly white livery, at the Turkish Grand Prix, on what was originally slated to be the Japanese engine manufacturer's final home race at Suzuka.

Red Bull featured a special livery for the 2012 British Grand Prix that featured more than 25,000 photos that had been sent in by fans. It was all in aid of Wings for Life, the spinal cord research foundation run by Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz.
During pre-season testing at Jerez in 2015, Red Bull used a camouflage livery reminiscent of a zebra. The team had elected not to carry out an official launch prior to testing, and so it proved to be the subject of great attention in the F1 paddock.
