After operating as Toro Rosso since 2005, the team rebranded as AlphaTauri in 2020 to promote Red Bull’s clothing brand. However, the specific new name for the Italian team has not yet been disclosed, although ‘RB’ is listed on the FIA’s entry list for 2024. It is speculated that ‘RB’ may stand for ‘Racing Bulls’, with recent domain registrations and logo sightings hinting at potential title sponsorship deals with Visa and Cash App. Red Bull has been strengthening its ties with American brands, including the collaboration with Ford and the RB19 launch in New York. Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda will be the drivers for the team, which will now be led by former Ferrari Racing Director Laurent Mekies, taking over from Franz Tost, who retired after 18 years.
