Red Bull will pay tribute to Honda at their home race this week to mark the final season of one of the most successful partnerships in motorsport history.

This season marks the 60th anniversary of Honda's first victory in Formula One and the design concept is a tribute to the RA272, which gave Honda its inaugural win in 1965 at the Mexico GP, with American Richie Ginther at the wheel, driving under the number 11.

The striking white and red look, which will adorn both RB21s, when they take to the track at Suzuka, recreates the RA272's iconic Japanese flag motif, featuring the "H" logo on the nose and the simple Honda logo on the rear of the bodywork. A special logo commemorating 60 years since Honda's first F1 victory will also be displayed across all four Red Bull cars on the grid.

This will be the second time Red Bull have raced in white to honour Honda, the team took a double podium at the 2021 Turkey GP in a special livery, that fans have called to see time and time again.

"Our relationship with Honda deserves celebration," said Christian Horner, "it has been one of continued success and brought the team one of the most triumphant and dominant periods in our history.

"Max has won four world titles with a Honda Power Unit and the team have lifted two constructors' titles, in addition, Honda's reliability enabled to complete the most successful season in the sport's history in 2023. This livery is a tribute to Honda's success in the sport and the final year of, what has been a thoroughly enjoyable partnership. I am looking forward to seeing it out on track."

"It is quite moving to see the RA272 tribute livery on the latest Red Bull machine, in the final year of Honda and Red Bull's partnership," added Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corporation (HRC). "Our successful path will continue to shine in the history of F1."

Prior to the Japan GP, on Tuesday evening Red Bull look set to take over Tokyo with a REBL Car Culture Meet, which celebrates the spirit of Japanese Car Culture. The event, which will embody car culture's authentic links to F1, has drawn enthusiasts and their cars from across the city to come together as a community. Paying further homage to Honda and Japanese motocore, an iconic 90s Honda NSX wrapped in a matching livery to the RB21, will be displayed alongside a Red Bull showcar, to introduce the team's 2025 Japan GP livery to the world. There will be a customisation station for bespoke REBL Car Culture merchandise and the launch of a three-way collaboration between iconic Japanese streetwear brand Neighbourhood, Honda and Oracle Red Bull Racing.

And in a world first, the REBL Car Culture Meet is followed by a Red Bull Showrun - powered by Honda - through the streets of the Tokyo on Wednesday, featuring all four current Red Bull F1 drivers. Max Verstappen, Yuki Tsunoda, Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar will take to the streets in a Honda RA272, the RB16B which saw Max win his first World Drivers' Championship, powered by Honda and two RB7s, which won double World Championships, from the team's heritage collection.

When the team hits Suzuka for race week, it won't just be the RB21 which is looking all white, team kit partner Castore have produced a limited edition white, red and black polo to match the special livery, which will be worn by the whole team in Japan, including the quickest pit crew in F1. Max and Yuki will wear bespoke white, red and black Sparco race suits and both drivers have special edition Japan GP helmets for the race.
