Leaked Verstappen photos suggest Red Bull may switch to Adidas kit

Leaked images appear to show Max Verstappen wearing Adidas kit, fuelling speculation that Red Bull is set to announce a new clothing partnership with the German sportswear brand. The pictures, which look to come from a behind-the-scenes photoshoot, show the three stripes on the shoulders and the Adidas logo on the chest.

The leak suggests Adidas could replace Castore as Red Bull's clothing supplier, a team arrangement that has been in place since 2022. Reports earlier this year had already pointed to a prospective deal for 2027, with a reported value of 27 million euros.

Adidas is already the official clothing partner of Mercedes and Audi, and a Red Bull agreement would further strengthen its presence in the F1 paddock. Verstappen, the four-time champion, would front any change in branding as the team's lead driver.
