Red Bull’s planned rebrand of the AlphaTauri F1 team has initially been concealed in the 2024 F1 entry list, although the cryptic “RB” chassis name indirectly hints at its true 2024 identity
Red Bull is planning to rebrand the AlphaTauri Formula 1 team in 2024, but the true identity is being kept hidden for now, indicated only by the cryptic “RB” chassis name. The FIA’s official entry list for the 2024 championship reveals the name change, with Scuderia AlphaTauri now listed as Scuderia AlphaTauri RB. Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri have also removed the RBPT reference from their engine make declarations, now listing Honda as the engine manufacturer. However, the entry list is subject to change and the AlphaTauri name is expected to be a placeholder until the official rebrand is announced next year. The name “Racing Bulls” has been rumored as the possible new moniker, but the “RB” initials do not directly hint at this and have been chosen to fulfill entry list requirements. Red Bull has previously registered trademarks for the words “Racing Bulls” and an image of a charging bull. It is likely that “RB” or “Racing Bulls” will become a suffix for a sponsor-led team name, similar to Racing Point’s previous strategy.
