Red Bull have abandoned plans to run special F1 liveries in Singapore and th𒉰e United States amid weight concerns.

Red Bull h🎐ad invited fans to create and design liveries that would be used on the RB20 at th🐠ree races this year.

They ran the first fan-designed livery at t🐟he British Grand Prix, but plans for Singapore and the USA have been scrapped.

Re🤡d Bull cited "additional weight compromises" these special liveries would bring.

Teams have moved towards using less paint💛 on their cars, resulting in exposed carbon, to ensure 🐭the cars weigh as little as possible.

They released the following statement on Tuesday: “Unfortunately, when we came to the testing phase of what some REBL CUSTMS designs could look like in real life on the RB20, we found the paint used to create these bespoke full car takeover liveries ad✤ded unforeseen and undue weight to the bodywork of the RB20.

"As I’m sure you can imagine, any additional weight compromises performance, and ♌the team is continuing to prioritize making thꦓis car as competitive as possible for the remainder of the 2024 season.

“As a result, it is with a heavy heart that🐭 we must let you know the team has made the decision to not run the REBL CUSTMS liveries on the RB20 at the Singapore and United States GPs.”

Red Bull recentꦚly lost the lead in the F1 constructors' championship last time out at the Azerbaijan Grand Pri♛x.

While168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Sergio Perez was in race-winning contention, he crashed out of the race with two laps to go following an incident with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

It was a miserable weekend overall for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen though.

Verstappen was once again beaten by F1 title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, meaning there’s just 59 points between the pa😼i♈r with seven rounds to go.

This week🀅end in Singapore is expected to be another tough one for Red♛ Bull.
