New team website

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.

But what will people actually call them though? There's nothing in the name you can use as it's either sponsors or RB, which is too close to Red Bull. At least with Alpine and Aston Martin you can just drop the sponsor name.

Internally they call it "v-carb" apparently lol

I vote we just call them "Red Bull's sister team."

I'll stick with Toro Rosso!

I still call them Minardi

I'm partial to steer, they are a neutered red bull team.

There was a time when Racing Point was still being called Force India. The fact is if we are asking these questions and rejecting the team name we’ll all know what we are talking about and the commentators will find the path of least resistance
