Leaked images appear to show Max Verstappen wearing Adidas kit, fuelling speculation that Red Bull is poised to unveil a new clothing partnership with one of the world's biggest brands.
The pictures, taken from what looks like a behind-the-scenes photoshoot, show the Dutchman in gear carrying the unmistakable three stripes on the shoulders, along with the Adidas logo on the chest.
It suggests the German sportswear giant is set to replace Castore as the team's clothing supplier.
A tie-up between Red Bull and Adidas would not come as a surprise. Reports already circulated earlier this year of a prospective deal for 2027, with a reported value of 27 million euros.
The Milton Keynes-based team has run with Castore since 2022, but the leaked shoot suggests that arrangement could soon be coming to an end.
Verstappen, the four-time champion, would front any switch in branding as Red Bull's lead driver.
A deal with Red Bull would further increase Adidas' growing presence in the F1 paddock, with it already being the official clothing partner of Mercedes and Audi.
