Red Bull recently scrapped their plans for a fan-designed livery at the Singapore and US Grand Prix, citing concerns about the added weight. But McLaren has swooped in to unveil their own one-off paint job for this weekend’s race, with a design that harks back to their iconic red and white Marlboro-liveried glory days of the 70s and 80s. Unlike Red Bull’s cancelled designs, McLaren’s new look is more of a colour swap than an addition of weight.

McLaren Unveiled Custom Singapore Grand Prix Livery

IN McLaren, Custom, Singapore Grand Prix, Livery, Red Bull, Formula 1, Formula One

You can’t help but notice that this is a cheeky jab from McLaren to Red Bull.


The REBL CUSTMS campaign, meant to celebrate the team’s 20-year journey in Formula 1, had promised fans the opportunity to see their custom design grace the Red Bull RB20 on race day. At first glance, the campaign seemed like a dream come true for F1 enthusiasts. Fans were invited to join Red Bull’s ‘Paddock’ fan community, submit their livery designs, and stand a chance to win a package that included flights, accommodation, race tickets, and their design on the race car itself. The competition, which ran from 30 May to 19 June, garnered considerable excitement as five designs made it to the final voting stage. But then came the rub: paint. In Formula 1, every gram counts. Added paint means added weight, and added weight means lost time on track. As the team explained in their newsletter ahead of this weekend’s race, it’s a compromise they simply weren’t willing to make.
