The Formula One grid is charging into the 2024 season with a new look and new support. Today, Red Bull F1 Teams and Visa (NYSE: V) announced an unprecedented multi-year agreement where Visa will become the first global partner of both Red Bull F1 teams, bringing a new look team to the F1 grid in the form of Visa Cash App RB, formerly Scuderia AlphaTauri.

Visa’s first new major global sports sponsorship in more than 15 years, the agreement encompasses the Visa Cash App RB team, corresponding title partnership on the F1 Academy team entry and the Oracle Red Bull Racing team. The Visa logo appearing on both the Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa Cash App RB cars as well as the F1 Academy entries from the respective teams.

Visa Cash App RB Drivers Yuki Tsunoda of Japan and Daniel Ricciardo of Australia will sport a newly designed Visa and Cash App inspired car livery and driver’s kit when the F1 2024 racing series kicks off in Bahrain on February 29. The full livery unveil will take place during a special Las Vegas event on February 8.

It seems more like they're renamed to "Visa Cash App RB" which is quite literally the worst F1 team name ever.

The registered company is now "Racing Bulls SpA". They are gonna run in F1 as "Visa Cash App RB" like how Alpine run as "BWT Alpine" and Aston Martin runs as "Aston Martin Aramco".

Shouldn't they be named the racing steers since they are the neutered red bulls.
