This is ostensibly the new logo and name for AlphaTauri. Kinda wish they’d just go back to Toro Rosso. Or Minardi.

Whose nephew named and designed this?

The head of RB or the head of RB?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

The first one.

If they're just using a bland placeholder name until they find a new title sponsor, they should have just changed it back to Toro Rosso, surely. Reminds me of AM's Racing Point phase.

ngl I thought this was just a meme is this legit what they're going with?

Can’t wait for Crofty to stumble over his commentary when a RB car is on screen

Someone lost a bet right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

This can't be true. Sounds like a cheap advert.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Yeah this is not a good name.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It could be worse right???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Probably, but I do fail to think of something worse (without falling into swearwords as a name)

So next year we'll have the RB20 and the RB01?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Which RB is the RB from this year and which is the RB that has been RB this year and also RB the next year?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

@florge @TheRealKuni Racing Bulls will just use the RB19 anyway so fits perfectly now with the new name

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

This surely won’t be confusing to have the Red Bulls and Racing Bulls both on the track, that livery better be extremely different from the Red Bull

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah, that's a thing.
