Highlights
‣ The ‘RB’ in Visa Cash App RB, AlphaTauri’s new name, does not stand for Racing Bulls, despite the FIA’s entry list suggesting a connection to Racing Bulls SpA.
‣ The official registered name for the team is Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team, with the chassis named ‘RB’, but this abbreviation does not imply ‘Racing Bulls’ according to a team representative.

Oh, the intrigue of Formula One team names! So, the ‘RB’ in Visa Cash App RB, AlphaTauri’s new moniker, isn’t a nod to Racing Bulls. But, let’s be real, the FIA’s entry list kinda hinted at a connection.
### RB’s True Meaning: A Mystery
Turns out, the FIA’s 2024 list spilled some tea. Red Bull Racing’s sibling team got its name from a company named ‘Racing Bulls SpA’ in Italy. They’re officially the Visa Cash App RB Formula One Team. And the chassis? Simply ‘RB’.
A team rep spilled the beans to GPblog. “RB” doesn’t stand for Racing Bulls. Who would’ve thunk? Given that Visa Cash App RB doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, it’s a safe bet we’ll be calling them VCARB.
### Launch Hype!
And guess what? Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda are gearing up for a big reveal. Their 2024 car is set to make a splash on February 8. The buzz is it’ll happen during the Super Bowl. Talk about making an entrance!
