The head-scrat👍ching over a certain Formula 1 team’s name-change for 2025 ha💫s been cleared up.

Red Bull’s sister team have been known as anything from RB, to Visa ꦏCash App, to Racing Bulls, t𝔉o VCARB this season.

They stated their intention to have a clear identity 🦄in 2025 - but even that caused confusion.

RB or Racing Bulls or...?

Team principal Laurent Mekies said at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix: “Our team is Visa Cash App Raཧcing Bulls, not RB.”

H♒owever, it seems th🗹ey do not plan on being colloquially known as Racing Bulls next year, after all.

CEO Peter Bayer explained at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: “We have struggled, 💙to an extent, in making it clear to people what♛ the team’s name is.

“You have seen so many versions. It is something that 𝐆we had in January. It all happened within weeks.

“What we see, ultimately, is that pe🔯ople are referring to us as Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.

“Racing Bulls is our company name. I have seen it used i🀅n the German, Austrian, ๊Italian and French media used most often.

People struggle with RB, people are mixing it up wi🔯th Red Bull, others didn’t know what it stands for.

“That’s why we decided to cl🥀arify that. Basically, what you see will see in the future is Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, and VCARB for an abꦛbreviation.”

Understood? Good. The team will generally be known as VCARB in 2025, even though their full name, including their title spon🌳s꧋or, is Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.

They underwent a rebrand a year ago, after being calle♉d AlphaTauri in💟 2023.

2025 VCARB driver debate

So the team appear𒆙𓂃 to have settled on a name, but their drivers are still up for debate.

That’s because they are waiting for a decision for 💞Red Bull, their sister team.

Red Bull are deciding whether⛦ to ditch Sergio Perez, even though he is contracted for 2025.

If they get rid, as all indications suggest they will do, then their sister team’s drivers Liam Lawson and Yuk𓆉i Tsunoda are the contenders to replace him.

Tsunoda drove a Red Bull at the postseason tജest even though Lawson is reportedly favourite to꧟ earn the promotion.

VCARB would welco🦂me Red Bull junior Isack Hadjar into a race seat in 2025, if either o🌳f their current drivers step up into Perez’s place.
