Racing Bulls' VCARB FC crest fuses chequered flag with three stars

Racing Bulls unveiled a FIFA World Cup–inspired "VCARB FC" special livery and matching teamwear for the Barcelona–Catalunya Grand Prix, timed to coincide with the start of the men's FIFA World Cup. The one‑off design blends motorsport and football aesthetics and features a bespoke VCARB FC crest that merges a chequered‑flag motif with three stars representing the tournament hosts — the United States, Canada and Mexico. The design uses sharp geometry, angular shapes and bold contrasts aimed to read well on track and as streetwear.

Racing Bulls developed the rollout through its Creator Platform, crediting fashion designer Hattie Crowther, graphic designer Florence Burns and photographer Ezra Alexander. CEO Peter Bayer called the project a celebration of the crossover between F1 and football and a way to showcase emerging creative talent.

The team will apply the themed livery to both VCARB 03 cars during the Barcelona weekend, and drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will wear retro football kits and Barcelona‑themed apparel as part of the promotion. Racing Bulls framed the initiative as an event‑timed marketing activation and merchandise push that emphasizes visual storytelling and collaborative creative input rather than technical changes to the cars.

The VCARB FC design is Racing Bulls’ third special livery of the season, following one‑offs in Japan and Miami. Racing Bulls said Barcelona’s high‑speed layout suits the VCARB 03 and cited earlier testing; the team hopes fan engagement from the Barcelona activation will build on momentum from a productive Monaco weekend. As of the report, Racing Bulls sit sixth in the Constructors' standings, with Lawson ninth and Lindblad thirteenth in the Drivers' standings.
