'This one's a classic' - Fans are grilling Red Bull Team for cheating during the US GP

Red Bull team cheated their fans by not using one of the iconic liveries during the United States Grand prix this year. Red Bull team is competing in Formula 1 from the year 2005. During their early days, they used their brand of livery which was typically blue and Yellow. It was the same as the Red Bull energy drink and many fans loved the colour. During that time Red Bull cars were very different compared with other teams.

Formula 1 fans love their teams when they bring new liveries on special occasions. But the last decade was not that nice in terms of Team liveries as most teams want to reduce the weight of their car by using more exposed Black carbon. So every car has a huge black part.

During the United States Grand prix this year Red Bull team planned to surprise their fans by using their classic Livery, which was similar to their energy drink colour. The classic livery was loved by many as David Coulthard, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel raced in their V8 cars with these liveries.

During the Hybrid era, the weight of the cars had to be cut, so many teams moved to black as they matched with carbon. The reason Red Bull didn't use the livery in US GP is mainly due to the championship fight between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. Red Bull wanted to get an advantage over Lando and McLaren in every possible way. That is the reason they didn't use this livery as it could increase the weight of the car and reduce the lap time. 

But Red Bull has showcased their planned livery in a Red Bull show in Galway, Ireland. After seeing the iconic livery fans started to grill the Red Bull team for cheating them. Let's hope Max verstappen and Lando Norris's title fight gets over at least by the Las Vegas GP, so that we can see the classic Red Bull livery in the last two races of the calendar.
