The he♏ad-scratching over a certain Formula 1 team’s name-change👍 for 2025 has been cleared up.

Red Bull’s sister team have been know😼n as anything from RB, to Visa Cash A⛄pp, to Racing Bulls, to VCARB this season.

They stated the🎃ir intention to have a clear ident🌄ity in 2025 - but even that caused confusion.

RB or Racing Bulls or...?

Team principal Laurent Mekies said at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix: “Oജur teamไ is Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, not RB.”

However, it seems they 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 h🍰ave 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 we h𓃲ad in January. It all happened within weeks.

“What we see, ultimately, is that people are referrin꧂g to us as Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.

“Racing Bulls is our company name. 𒉰I have seen it used in ♚the German, Austrian, Italian and French media used most often.

People struggle 💞with RB, people are mixing it up with ꦆRed Bull, others didn’t know what it stands for.

“That’s why we decid🎃ed to clarify that. Basically, what you see will see in the future is Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, and VCARB🥃 for an abbreviation.”

Understood? Good. The team will generally be known as VCಌARB in 2025, even though their full name, including their title sponsor, is Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.

They underwent a rebrand a year ago, after❀ being call🀅ed AlphaTauri in 2023.

2025 VCARB driver debate

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

That’s because the🍎y are waiting for a decision for Red Bull, 🉐their sister team.

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

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

Tsunoda drove a Red Bull at the postseason test even tꩵhough Lawson is reportedly favourite to earn the promotion.

VCARB would welcome Rꩲed Bull junior Isack Hadjar into a race seat in 2025, if either of their current drivers step up into Perez’s place.
