F1 teams pull out special liveries for Las Vegas GP

A Grand Prix in the entertainment city of Las Vegas surely demands a special one-off livery?

It is now almost a tradition that the teams in the United States drive with a special livery, and once again new color schemes have been revealed.

Red Bull

Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will hunt for another Grand Prix victory this coming weekend in a purple-tinted Red Bull.

The Milton Keynes-based team always lets fans vote on different special liveries for American races, and the "purple one" has emerged as the winner this time.

Red Bull announced the livery in a playful way by hanging a car upside down in a nightclub. It's the namesake all over again...

Ferrari

Ferrari wouldn't be Ferrari if they didn't appear in scarlet red, but for the Las Vegas GP white shades have been sprayed on the car.

It is reminiscent of the car Michael Schumacher used to become world champion from 2000 to 2004. That is not going to happen this year, but Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are undoubtedly hoping to shine in Sin City.

Alpine

You have to look closely, but Alpine is also driving a special livery in Las Vegas. The French team is collaborating with Palace and Kappa on a one-off basis and has slightly modified the blue bolide for it.

Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly will also compete in a different suit on a one-off basis. The team has also opened a pop-up store featuring unique items that can be purchased throughout the weekend.

Williams

Of course, Williams and home driver Logan Sargeant can't be left behind. The team is running the normal blue livery, but has added a Las Vegas sauce.

The Williams name appears as a sort of disco slogan on the back, for the signature stars and glitz and glamour of Sin City.

Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo joined the fun with another special livery, unveiled by drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu at an event on the Strip.
