The CREATIVELY BANKRUPT F1 Team

So the rumours were true. The new name for Alphatauri IS Visa Cashapp Racing Bulls...wow.
🏁 Buckle up for an exciting deep dive into the ever-dramatic world of Formula 1! In this video, we'll take a closer look at the recent seismic shift in the sport - the controversial name change of one of its prominent teams. Alphatauri is no more; say hello to Visa Cash App Racing Bulls, or simply RB. But what's all the fuss about? Join us as we unravel the intense drama surrounding this rebranding decision, a move that's left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads.
We'll dissect the intriguing lack of official quotes from key team figures, including the CEO and team principal, in the official F1 website's article about this transformation. Is this silence a sign of uncertainty or a well-calculated marketing strategy?
But that's not all - we'll also explore the reasoning behind the choice of the abbreviation "RB" over the full "Racing Bulls." Is it an attempt to downplay the association with Red Bull Racing, leaving Visa and Cash App to shine?
And as if that weren't enough, we'll delve into the whirlwind of criticism and negative media attention this rebranding has stirred up. The Formula 1 world is no stranger to unconventional decisions to attract sponsors, as we'll show you with past examples of teams resorting to creative measures to secure financial backing.

“MOM!!!! A NEW CAMERA ANGLE JUST DROPPED!!!”

[@Ryzard]

I bet you anything that they changed the name to "RB" rather than "Racing Bulls" because visa didn't want commentators saying "racing bulls" (like they say "red bull", rather than "oracle") they wanted the commentators to say "visa" - so "RB" was something they knew commentators wouldn't say by itself to avoid confusion

[@LawVS]

Definitely!!

[@SethBeidelman1999]

My biggest complaint with these new names is that it takes away from the fact that it's supposed to be a competition between manufacturers. Visa Cash App RB doesn't sound like a manufacturers name, nor does Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber. They just sound like billboards, really fast, high downforce billboards.

[@LawVS]

Agreed. There's no real unique manufacturer or privateer identity. Just a bunch of brands.

[@Barni2212]

[@thembanjoko2844]

F1 team names have reached an all time low, we went from Toro Rosso, Alpha Tauri to now VCARB. Then Sauber went from Alfa Romeo to Stake AKA Fillet Mignon, or Drake's F1 team as I call it (Anita Max Wynn!) since he uses that platform, hence the "Drake Curse." F1 team names are now just as bad as stadium names.

[@LawVS]

Companies have seen F1 as lucrative. Teams have seen a chance to sell space in their name. It's that simple.

[@robotnikkkk001]

.....WELL, MAYBE LOOK AT THIS LIKE REDBULL IS *"Very rich of CARBs"" , THO? ..............YUP, THE JOKE ISNT NICE...

[@blackjacktrial]

I mean a lot of them are bad. Either named after a guy (Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, Andretti), just the name of a car manufacturer (Ferrari, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Audi etc.), or named after a company (Red Bull, VISA Cash App). I guess Stake F1 is actually good based on this.

[@francistaylor1822]

Yes but its still shite@@LawVS

[@andrewarmstrong7254]

Cash Cows would have been a better bovine reference than Racing Bulls. Suggest using this as a nickname for them.

[@LawVS]

The funny thing is is that they are telling people RB doesn't stand for Racing Bulls...but their company is called that.

[@WRC-FAN]

Your video is spot on. In regards to Andretti racing, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that competitors can choose who their competition will be. As for the Visa Cash App team, I bet that team merch will just be flying off the shelf.😅

[@ItsMaryWork]

Can I just point something out about the new logo? The team name is "Visa CashApp RB Formula One Team", but the new logo makes it look like the name is actually "Visa RB CashApp Formula One Team"... because on that they put the CashApp below the RB when in the name RB actually comes before RB. I dunno, it's just a little strange to me...

Agreed. It is such a garbled mess.

[@phenomenon5349]

[@thelegend4ryhenrique]

I fell like people are overeacting to this. We have two legitimate bussines, at least from what I know (We don't have Cashapp in Brazil) and they probably are paying A LOT of money to have the brand in the team name. When Alfa Romeo paind to be Sauber name there wasn't any one worried.

[@LawVS]

I'm pleased that two big businesses are ploughing money into the team, but this is more on the team for not coming up with a compelling identity when they've had previous experience of making great marketing moves.

[@phenomenon5349]

This is me changing my team name in my team career in mid season because why not? There are some doubts regarding the team. Will they still be a clothing brand? Is the brand still be named alphatauri?

[@LawVS]

Yeah is still exists. Alphatauri is still their fashion line.

[@gonzo1354]

Steady mate.... it's a brilliant logo. A bit like the emperor's new clothes, most people just can't see it. The bull hides the bottom of the RB letters giving us the new team initials BB, which stand for Blue Bulls/Balls They're unofficially known as Blue Balls because they're always going to be held back. See... creative genius.

[@LawVS]

Ohhhh of course. How could I be so silly?

[@barthy_]

Redbull should not be allowed to own two teams in the modern F1 era of a cost cap. Zak Brown put it perfect. Haas and VCARB should be force to be sold to legitimate interests in racing i.e Andretti

[@LawVS]

Let's be fair here, Zak Brown's motivations are concerning one of his mates, Michael Andretti. But yes, no team should be able to own more then 24% of a team.

[@barthy_]

I feel like Michael being a friend is obvious but also really not a big part or had anything to do with what he was saying at all. Do you think in 2026 this will actually be addressed? I think you made a great point that turning the Toro Rosso team into a literal year behind copy of the Redbull car with a cash grab of a name and sponsor is only going to make more people vocal.

[@barthy_]

And honestly it creates the constant problem of "what if" with the transferring of knowledge between teams that can never be proven or disproven that will only get worse with the move and more parts being shared (even if legal).

[@Imikeh]

'Looks like we have a battle for P10 Martin! The Visa RB of Daniel Ricciardo is fending off the Kick Sauber of Valtteri Bottas!' Gonna be so ridiculous.

[@LawVS]

Totally. Total name salads in the middle of a battle

[@caseyf14483]

I guess they might wanna call it RB as it sounds like a little nickname for a little red bull, but the name sucks. The identity is basically just sponsors and tbh with the brand colours they should just go back to Toro Rosso. (also the team colours on the graphics are gonna be a mess)

[@LawVS]

Makes me think of Arby's.

[@Appletank8]

The team names currently seam to suck alot, naming rights doesnt have to be this bad, lets not forget that 1 of the most iconic liveries was the John players special or jps lotus, shame it was tabaco but it was a brilliant livery, and even sounded like a race car "John Players Special" and when I think lotus its still my 1st thought, it even looked good on the lotus europa, oh and the ford capri, and norton race bikes. Though I suppose visa cash app is fitting, if they fit contactless payments to it, they can pay for the running costs every time they cross the start finish line, oh no wait, it would constantly read try again moved card too fast 😂
