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

The head of RB or the head of RB?

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

The first one.

[–] Stylus_XL@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago

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?

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] MrDrProfJimmy@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Someone lost a bet right?

[–] Pixelemme@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah this is not a good name.

[–] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It could be worse right???

[–] The_one_and_only@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] florge@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social 2 points 11 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?

[–] zav_@mastodon.social 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 5 points 11 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

[–] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that's a thing.
