Max Verstappen showed that he started 2026 with a good sense of humor. During the presentation of the Red Bull car for this season, he made a joke that drew laughter from the entire audience.
Last Thursday, January 15, the Austrian team held an event in Detroit, United States, in conjunction with Ford. Everything was done to present to the world the livery that will compete in the Formula 1 championship – the Red Bull Ford engine was also revealed.
During the presentation, Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar were present, along with team principal Laurent Mekies, and Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, as the Racing Bulls also showed off their design for 2026.
At one point during the night, the presenter asked Verstappen to give a spin to show off the new Red Bull uniform in F1 – a lighter blue tone, following the car’s livery.
It so happened that the four-time champion, who was in a good mood, took the opportunity to make a joke. “You want to see my butt?”, with everyone bursting into laughter.
