Several F1 teams, including McLaren, Williams, Racing Bulls, Aston Martin, Haas, and Alpine, have unveiled special liveries for the 2025 US GP.
The distinct designs that will adorn more than half the cars at the Circuit of The Americas are in commemoration of partnerships and milestones, adding extra panache to one of the sport’s most lively race weekends.
McLaren’s collaboration with Google Gemini
The newly crowned 2025 F1 Constructors’ Champions will don a special iridescent livery during the 2025 US GP weekend. This shimmery look, which the MCL39 will promote again in Mexico City, draws inspiration from the sparkle of Gemini’s colour palette.
Introduced as a tribute to McLaren partner Google’s Gemini AI tool, the unique Gemini branding will also feature on both drivers’ overalls and boots.
Williams’s throwback to 2002
Meanwhile, Williams will hit the track at the US GP in a 2002-inspired throwback livery, celebrating the F1 team’s title partnership with Atlassian. The one-off special design not only commemorates the year Atlassian was founded but also the British outfit’s second-place finish in the Constructors’ Championship with a blue-and-white livery and BMW power.
Carlos Sainz unveiled the special Williams livery alongside Atlassian co-founder and CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes and 2002 Williams driver Juan Pablo Montoya.
“Atlassian and Williams were both founded on Teamwork,” Mike Cannon-Brookes, CEO of Atlassian, stated.
“Our beginnings were similar – two mates with big ideas and a hell of a lot of passion, ready to do something big. So we’re thrilled that Atlassian can now partner with Williams as they drive towards a new era of greatness, using technology to help power their move up the grid.
“This 2002-inspired livery celebrates both teams’ legacy and the bright future ahead for Atlassian Williams Racing.”
Carlos Sainz, the team’s most-recent podium finisher, commented:
“The FW47 looks incredible in this 2002 retro livery which I am sure will be a fan favourite and I can’t wait to drive it at Austin this weekend.
“I have seen first hand how Atlassian’s software and approach to teamwork is helping move the team forward, and I am excited about what the future holds.”
Racing Bulls and Shaboozey setting the beat
Racing Bulls also have an eye-catching “pearlescent black and amber tortoise pattern” livery for the US GP this weekend.
The colours are a nod to the prepaid debit card of title partner Cash App, and the Faenza-based squad revealed the striking VCARB 02 design alongside American musician Shaboozey. Furthermore, drivers Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson showed off the team kit for Austin, which will feature the same theme.
According to the team, “The livery represents VCARB’s ongoing mission to infuse the words of motorsport, music, and American culture, all in one striking, speedy statement.”
Additionally, CEO Peter Bayer noted how Austin is the perfect race weekend to bring this vibrant collaboration to life.
“Once again, we’ve tapped into culture in a way that’s uniquely VCARB. These special liveries become part of our identity in moments where motorsport intersects music, fashion and creativity.”
Aston Martin’s tribute to science
Aston Martin have introduced the first bespoke design in the team’s history since they took over Racing Point in 2021. Incorporating their iconic green base, this STEM-focused special edition livery will feature on the AMR25 at the F1 US GP on the other side of the Atlantic.
The Silverstone-based outfit first presented the unique design to title sponsor Aramco’s employees at their USA HQ in Houston, with help from two-time world champion Fernando Alonso and Formula 2 driver Jak Crawford.
As Aston Martin’s announcement explained, “The livery will take the normally invisible science of a Formula One car and make it visible through a design which includes a series of F1-related scientific formulas.”
Besides, team principal and CEO Andy Cowell said:
“This weekend’s United States Grand Prix marks the team’s first livery takeover with our title partner, Aramco. Together, we are highlighting science, innovation, and the people who bring the car to life.
“We’re excited to see the livery on track and proud to showcase the next phase of our partnership, with Aramco set to play an integral role for our race car in 2026.”
Haas showcasing American roots
The Haas F1 team has presented a stars-and-stripes special livery for the upcoming US GP at COTA.
The one-off look retains the red, white, and black theme the F1 grid is accustomed to seeing on the VF-25s of Esteban Ocon and Ollie Bearman. At the same time, it pays homage to Haas’s American roots with the stars and stripes of the United States flag featured on the front and rear wings, sidepods, and engine cover.
With an upgrade package arriving in Austin, the Kannapolis-based team will surely hope to score points on their home soil!
Alpine turn heads with a touch of yellow
Alpine have become the sixth F1 team to reveal a tweak to their livery for the 2025 US GP in Austin. As it stands, they will also use the revised livery throughout the race weekends in Mexico City and São Paulo.
The A525 will spotlight striking yellow accents on its rear wing and the rear of its engine cover as Alpine celebrate their partnership with Argentinian multinational company Mercado Libre.
By advertising the aforementioned e-commerce site, which joined them as a sponsor at the start of 2025, the French outfit is currently maximising Franco Colapinto’s marketing potential in the LATAM region.
“The initiative opens a new chapter in the strategic alliance between Mercado Libre and BWT Alpine Formula One Team, with Franco Colapinto serving as the brand’s ambassador on track, the face of Latin America’s growing presence in Formula One,” the team stated.
“The sport is experiencing an unprecedented boom in the region, fuelled by the passion of millions of Latin American fans.”
Likewise, an excited Franco Colapinto said:
“Racing with Mercado Libre’s colours is very special for me. It means bringing a brand to the track that was born in my country and now represents millions of Latin Americans on a global stage.
“For any driver, competing in Formula One is a dream. I’m living mine — with effort, dedication, and the support of an incredible team. Doing it alongside Mercado Libre, a company that continues to support me and shares the same values of commitment and perseverance, makes it even more meaningful.”
