Red Bull has given Formula 1 fans the opportunity to win a framed replica of Max Verstappen's 2026 race suit, signed by the four-time champion.

The Milton Keynes outfit has kept it simple for fans to enter. To be in with a chance of winning the memorabilia, fans have to sign up to MyPaddock, the team's exclusive loyalty programme, and answer one question.

Fans have already shared their excitement about the prospect of winning the race suit. "I want it make sure you send Max with it too please," one fan commented, while another added: "I need this, please, I’m sick and this is the only known cure."

 

This comes amid a difficult start to the 2026 season for the team. It currently sits sixth in the constructors' championship with 16 points - 12 from Verstappen and four from his new team-mate Isack Hadjar

Team principal Laurent Mekies claimed that the squad is paying the price for a late-season push in 2025. 

"Now, of course, the time and energy we invested for the late push last year, does it have an impact on where you start ’26? Of course it does. Of course, we pay a bit of the price today. Do we use it as an excuse? No," Mekies explained during an appearance on the F1 Beyond The Grid podcast.

"We are not happy with the starting point. But we think we will get through these difficulties. As we did last year, we will get the full understanding of the limitations. And this team has been very, very good in turning things around and we have another chance to do it this year."

The Frenchman continued: "We try to do everything we can to make sure this is not a transition year, despite the size of the challenge, despite the new power unit challenge. We want to make sure that we are not in a transition year. No. We are not at all in that mode. We are in full attack mode.

"As we said, not happy about the starting point. But if you walk in Milton Keynes right now, there is fire in every single department. There is a burning fire of wanting to go back as fast as possible to a more competitive car, to a better position.

"And that's what you feel in Milton Keynes today, is that burning drive to get enough understanding and development to the car, in a way that we can outperform the development of the competition and get back up."

F1 is currently in a five-week break between the Japanese and Miami Grands Prix, which has offered the teams crucial time to regroup before the season kicks off again.
