Leaked photographs show Max Verstappen in Adidas-branded clothing, fuelling speculation about a possible Red Bull–Adidas deal for 2027. The images show what is expected to be an unreleased team kit: Adidas's logo and three-stripe design appear on his chest and shoulders, while a white Adidas mark is visible on the side of his RB22. On the clothing, the Adidas branding replaces the current Castore marks.

Earlier BILD reports, cited by Motorsport.com, said Red Bull and Adidas were negotiating an apparel and merchandise contract due to take effect in 2027. The reported agreement would be worth approximately €27 million per year for at least three seasons.

Motorsport.com reported that neither Red Bull nor Adidas had issued an official press release confirming the switch when it published its story. Castore remained Red Bull's official supplier.
