RB ≠ RBR
As in: Red Bull Racing (RBR) is the team Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez are driving for, and then there is their sister-team RB* (RB) with Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo as drivers.
It's a bit confusing of course, but I'd like to see more people using the abbreviations correctly here on Lemmy.
But renaming Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri into RB was not a clever move by the team.

*edit for more accuracy: RB's full team name is VISA Cash App Racing Bulls (VCARB), so it's not surprising people are calling them RB. But that does cause more confusion.
