What happened: Red Bull Racing will run a Ford Racing Raptor-inspired kit at the United States Grand Prix. The activation is built around the Austin weekend at Circuit of the Americas on Oct. 23-25.

Why it matters: Austin is the team's U.S. home race with the Ford partnership in focus. The team arrives one week after Max Verstappen converted pole into his first Singapore Grand Prix victory.

By the numbers: Verstappen won in Singapore ahead of Charles Leclerc and Kimi Antonelli. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finished fourth and fifth.

What to watch: Cars hit the track at COTA for the Oct. 23-25 weekend. Running will show how the order resets after Singapore.
