AlphaTauri’s new moniker, Visa Cash App RB, is stirring up the Formula 1 world. It’s a hot topic. Giedo van der Garde, for instance, has chimed in. And he’s not exactly thrilled…
Van der Garde, once a Formula 1 driver himself, now an analyst at Viaplay, isn’t a fan of the name. He’s like, “I know I’ve just retired, so I don’t wanna sound like an old fogey saying ‘everything in the past was so much better.’ But, in my humble opinion, ‘Visa Cash App RB’ just doesn’t cut it for a Formula One team.”
He even tweeted about it. Check it out: pic.twitter.com/YHGO2Uqg16 – Giedo van der Garde (@GvanderGarde) January 24, 2024
But wait, there’s more. Van der Garde added in a follow-up tweet, “Anyway, maybe they’ll prove me wrong. But I don’t see us reminiscing in the future about that awesome team named Visa Cash App RB.”
