For 2025, however, and according to reports on Formula.hu, the team will revert to simply being known as Racing Bulls. This will reflect the company name it took on since transitioning from AlphaTauri.

Racing Bulls, saved you a click.

Dumb name is dumb.

Thank you for your service.

On topic: I am pretty sure the RB in VCARB is already for Racing Bulls because they landed on it earlier. I much preferred AlphaTauri actually. Toro Rosso is fine also.

I thought they didn't want to do Racing Bulls because it only hints at Red Bull affiliation yet looks too much like it. In that sense, I think the AlphaTauri branding was excellent. Hugely different colour scheme, very different name, but it's clearly the daughter (let's be honest) team.

AlphaTauri was great, always had great liveries and suit designs too. Really wish they'd kept it.

The current red bull can livery is also nice but the name really sucks.

I had no qualms with AT.

It was branded well enough to make the connection even when the drivers WEREN'T PEELING OFF THE ROAD FOR MAX AND NOT EVEN USING DRS ahem, yes, certainly better than Racing Bulls, which is disgusting.

Alpha like alpha software. Not ready for prime time redbull seats.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why can't they go back to Torro Rosso. Annoying to have to differentiate between RB and RBR (also known as RB).

[–] blackn1ght 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah I agree. Toro Rosso just sounds cool and distinctive. AlphaTauri was a bit meh and was too confusing with also having Alfa Romeo. But I guess the name is created by marketeers.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Racing Bulls is such a shit name when Red Bull is already on the grid. At least VCARB was distinguishable, trying to keep heads or tails between RB and RBR and which of them people are referring to is a nightmare.

Pacing Bulls

It seems like VCARB not only has to be a junior team for drivers, but also for junior/intern marketing staff members making up all these shit names.

Toro Rosso was an identity. Could live with Alpha Tauri as well.

they should have gone for Bllu Bull.
