The Red Bull Racing RB21 is a Formula One car designed and constructed by Red Bull Racing set to compete in the 2025 Formula One World Championship. It is being driven by defending World Champion Max Verstappen, who has been joined by Liam Lawson. The RB21, which is powered by the Honda RBPTH002 power unit, will be the last Red Bull Racing car to be powered by Honda RBPT-badged engines; from the 2026 season, Red Bull and its sister team Racing Bulls will utilise Red Bull Powertrains Ford engines.[2]
