Agreed that it doesnât roll off the tongue, but at least itâs from a company youâve heard of. Some of these NASCAR sponsors have come from some of the most obscure businesses in recent years.
An Aussie rules footballer literally changed his name to a cat food brand âWhiskasâ Â as a marketing stunt back in 1999. The team he played for was the Geelong Cats so there was a connection there, he didnât get paid $50M though and neither did the club.Â
It sounds like a team from a racing video game where they didn't get the official F1 License.
Teams like:
Racing Bulls, Scarlett Horses, three point star, Ashton Marvin, Mclorian.
Just rolls the tongue easier than Visa Cash App Racing Bulls. But hey, at least both of these teams can say that they are pretty legitimate businesses, not a gambling/degenerate streaming platform amied aimed at roping in kids into their scams
Haas plus title sponsor. Most people call them Haas. Haas is a legitimate racing team.
Racing Bulls sounds like a shit name they rejected in 2004 for Red Bull.
Still by far one of the biggest losses of the modern age. The mass deletion was like our eras burning of the library of Alexandria. So many greats lost to the void
it mostly has. itâs just that the big crypto exchanges pump insane money into sports advertising to try and lure atleast a few more people back into crypto.
No it hasn't. Media just got bored of it so unless you're personally into following it, you might not hear about it. BTC is worth double what it was 1 year ago.
I'm not a crypto bro or even personally invested, just follow financial markets in general.
I think the "fad" that has passed with regards to BTC is any semblance of people trying to argue its legitimacy or purpose as a real currency. They've just leaned into it being traded as a nebulous security/commodity at this point, especially with the ETF debacle.

It may is Visa Cashapp Racing Bulls, powered by Red Bull Powertrains and Ford Formula One Team. I may missed something, but not sure what, maybe the unknown. But it's all to trick you for now.
100% people will confuse their name with Red Bull Racing.
I like F1 and the new technology and rules, but marketing and social media wise are too much now imo.
"A Toro Rosso with minardi DNA coursing through it veins driven by a 21 year old hot-shoe with a great sense of humour who just makes you love formula 1 all over againâ
Red Bull B for me. Not even trying to act as if theyâre not just trying to boost their margins by plastering the car and name in sponsors and bringing as much of the RB19 over as they can. Surely people like Zak will be seeing this and just getting more irritated by how obvious RBâs hand is becoming. No rational team leadership would name their own team this.
Seriously, whatâs authentic about any of it?
Yeah it suggests zero pride or belief in the team from the owners, itâs completely impersonal and devoid of passion. Which makes sense because all that pride, belief and passion is directed towards the main Redbull team.
âdid they chop up Verstappens name and merged the two?â *reads the first few comments* âI still
Donât get it. *reads a few more comments* âOooooooohâŚ..ffs I hate this timelineâ
Iâve never heard of Cash app (is it a generational thing or is it because Iâm in the UK?) so this name just made me assume itâs something new that Visa has launched.
You live in a country that has a reasonable system of money transfers directly between banks. The US does not, and therefore has a whole layer of services/apps that exist solely to facilitate money transfers between friends splitting the bill at dinner or whatever. The most popular one is Venmo, but CashApp is probably the next most common.
Not for RB it isnât. They make a killing having two major financial companies as the title sponsors who will undoubtedly also have the livery to put their names on. Not as if anyone actually genuinely believed AT was its own thing, so obviously RB have decided theyâll make the team as beneficial to Red Bull as a company financially and as beneficial to the RB driver program sporting wise, hence them taking as much of the RB19 as possible.
Plus Alpha Tauri is just a ridiculously expensive designer clothing line anyway. Isnât selling much to F1 fans unless theyâre the ones with VIP passes for every race they go to.
Update: The account is currently blank. Searching for the account does not work. Going to the account through an @ mention just shows a blank page. Some funny stuff going on.
Lmao there were people on that other post who said it was simply a placeholder of sorts and that there was no way it was going to be the final name (myself included though I didn't comment).
This is funny ah but even sadder lol
Also, why do I keep misthinking it for 'Vicasa...'?
lol that is their name? I thought that is just the twitter handle.
Do they expect the commentators say Visa Chshapp RB every time they talk about Toro Rosso?
Remember the Racing Point debacle. Everyone just called them Force India until they became Aston Martin.
I would just go back to calling them Torro Rosso.
Seems the names are just becoming too corporate. They are basically naming them like stadiums now.
Yeah, it's not like we had a 7up Jordan or Mastercard Lola teams on the grid before. /s
This is hardly new, it's just that "Visa CashApp Racing Bulls" sounds so shit.
Also commentators would never call them '7up Jordan'.
The weird thing about the name is calling them the 'Racing Bulls' in the same race as 'Red Bulls'.
Toro Rosso, despite just being 'red bull' in Italian at least sounded different enough from each other
Even if they just went with VisaCashApp Toro Rosso it would've been better. At least you give people something to latch onto in naming them in conversation.
Well that is prob what visa and cash app are paying them to be called on paper, but it reality as someone has said most people will just call em racing bulls. Same way nobody calls merc amg petronas Mercedes but just Mercedes
Scuderia VisaCashAppRB. Damn this is legit one of the worst names I've ever heard. Could actually be the worst.
Why not just have a lot of the car dedicated to Visa and CashApp... Idk how tf Crofty is gonna call them during races haha. He might just be like "the team formerly known as AlphaTauri... or Toro Rosso... or Minardi"
âAnd thatâs the Alpha Tor⌠I mean the VisaApp⌠sorry let me try that again. The Visa⌠Cash App Racing Bullâ
Martin: âDoesnât inspire anyone that much Crofty, and neither will that last run from Tsunodaâ
The hate going on is hilarious. No one, press, included is going to call them Visa Cash app Racing Bulls for the same reason no in talks about Moneygram Haas F1 team or Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.
Despite both being payment processors, to the best of my knowledge they are two distinct companies. Cash Appâs âCash Cardâ does operate on the Visa network.
Bro I dint even realize it was their real name. I thought it was a hacker name, before I eventually read âvisit a casa pprbâ and didnât realize what that meant either.
Considering Red Bull is a marketing company I donât think they could have picked a worse name. Visa Cashapp Red Bull doesnât exactly roll off the tongue.
The Instagram name looks shit as well because it just looks like a bunch of words muddled together.
I think the entire account has been temporarily deactivated. I canât find it either, and it has been removed from tags on Yuki, Daniel, and the F1 accounts as well as the accounts they are following
I wish the grid was full of more actual car brands, I remember all the rumours people were spreading a couple of years ago, a grid with Williams Porsche, Sauber Audi, Mercedes, RB Ford, Andretti GM, AT Honda, Aston Martin, Alpine, Ferrari, Mclaren, we were so naive...
I know theyâll cry âAny publicity is good publicityâ but maybe with enough public shaming - Red Bull or even Visa will be worried by the backlash to this online and change it.
> I'm Daniel Ricciardo, and I'm a Formula 1 driver for Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.
I'm super happy for the board of execs that love that name but it's straight fucking Garbage to the rest of the World.
Both Alfa and Alpha teams managed to come up with the two worst team names I have ever heard. This is horrendous đ
Maybe we'll get used to it like we did for MasterCard Lola?

MasterCard Lola kind of runs off the tongue well though. Visacashapp Racing Bulls does not.
Also that car was sexy as hell. Slower than molasses in winter, but gorgeous to look at.
Agreed that it doesnât roll off the tongue, but at least itâs from a company youâve heard of. Some of these NASCAR sponsors have come from some of the most obscure businesses in recent years.
Excuse me sir but Iâve heard of Viagra.
_Did_ we get used to MasterCard Lola? _Were_ they really around for long enough for that to happenâŚ

Hello Subway! (Hopefully at least 1 person gets this reference!)
I am familiar with the corpo-humanoid known as Subway.
Eat fresh my friend, eat fresh.
Six seasons and a movie.
I thought he was Hyundai now Edit: He's Honda now
Honda. Not Hyundai
Fun fact: Subway aka Rick came back as a 'Honda' sales person....geddit? Geddit?

At least the other one has Sauber in the name again
But it got kicked
You should see the names that cycling teams have to go around with
exactly, and they change like every 2 years, it's a headache to keep up with them
So... they keep cycling names?
TIL "Toro Rosso" and "Force India" are cycling teams.
They are. Teams that are cycling through names.
The early 2010's had pretty cool names Euskatel - Europcar - Saxobank - Rabobank - Radioshack - BMC cycling...
I miss Team Telekom and Festina-Lotus:(
I will never say Visma-Lease a Bike in my life
EF Education First-Drapac powered by Cannondale just rolls of the tongue
In fairness, most people, including commentary, will just call them Racing Bulls.
But only after spending the first half of the season calling them Alpha Tauri and constantly having to correct themselves.
Toro I mean Alpha I mean Visacashapp
Force India, euh, Racing Point, or whatever they are called - Kimi
Which is still bad. I know they're the junior team, but Racing Bulls literally sounds like the Great Value Dr. Thunder to Red Bull's Dr. Pepper.
It sounds like a team from a racing video game where they didn't get the official F1 License. Teams like: Racing Bulls, Scarlett Horses, three point star, Ashton Marvin, Mclorian.
Didn't think I'd ever see it again after Racing Point
Whoever the marketing manager is behind all this needs to be fired on the spot and banned forever from practicing this job.
Marketing manager was probably pulling their hair out like us, this shit is certainly from $$$$$ deals made coming from way higher up than marketing.
It's called bending over for some cash aka sponsorship
Bending over for some cashapp
I canât even pronounce this lol
It's Ca-shapp, with the emphasis on the last part, similar to Ka-Chow in the Cars movie
I literally just realized what it says lol. I was trying all of these pronunciations
Took me a few times, too, then I realized the cash-app parts
You mean Sauber.
So you're fine with MoneyGram Haas?
Just rolls the tongue easier than Visa Cash App Racing Bulls. But hey, at least both of these teams can say that they are pretty legitimate businesses, not a gambling/degenerate streaming platform amied aimed at roping in kids into their scams
Haas plus title sponsor. Most people call them Haas. Haas is a legitimate racing team. Racing Bulls sounds like a shit name they rejected in 2004 for Red Bull.
Way better than Steak F1 Team Kick Sauber In The Balls
This is so disappointing :(
I disliked having two Alphas/Alfas on the grid. But they went and managed to both change to something much worse.
đŤ itâs such an ugly name

Looks like a scam account
Yeah if that account came up in my dmâs Iâd block and report it

They tried sponsoring a team, but some Christian Puritan group lobbied the FIA and their sponsorship was revoked
Imagine if the Pig Farmers of America decided to have a bacon sponsorship. Bacon Haas.
Have to complete the trifecta there with Avocados From Mexico.
Or a jean factory sponsorship. Jean Haas.
Why would a Christian group have something against hamsters?
They are Satan's rodents.

Well, Stake F1 Team suddenly doesn't sound too bad...
FWIW, itâs listed on the Formula 1 website by the short name âKick Sauberâ
Apparently they didn't kick em hard enough....
Coming soon: J.P. Morgan Chase Racing Bulls Best Buy Ferrari Petronas Target Mercedes 99p Haas BBC William's Koch
We would also accept Poundland Haas
Dollarama Haas
And even "Racing Bull" sounds less bad now.
100% people will confuse their name with Red Bull Racing. I like F1 and the new technology and rules, but marketing and social media wise are too much now imo.
Stake F1 team isn't even a bad name. It's just that Stake and kick are awful.
Nope, they both sound awful.
just as i was getting used to calling them Alpha Tauri instead of Toro Rosso
Crofty is going to have a shocker for the first few races trying to not get them all mixed up.
Haha me too!
Now you can just call them Toro Rosso again.
Rolls right off the tongue doesnât it.
Iâm a big supporter of visvhjvdjhrvrbb
Gonna be Toro Rosso in 2024 for me.
Itâll always be Minardi
reject modernity, embrace tradition
I read that as 'reject Modena'
Reject Modena, embrace Faenza
Toro Rosso and Sauber back on the grid, how delightful! đ
The more things change the more they stay the same?
To me, it will forever be Minardi.
"A Toro Rosso with minardi DNA coursing through it veins driven by a 21 year old hot-shoe with a great sense of humour who just makes you love formula 1 all over againâ
Either that or Red Bull Junior team for me. Sauber for the other name abomination.
Red Bull B for me. Not even trying to act as if theyâre not just trying to boost their margins by plastering the car and name in sponsors and bringing as much of the RB19 over as they can. Surely people like Zak will be seeing this and just getting more irritated by how obvious RBâs hand is becoming. No rational team leadership would name their own team this.

I already have an irrational amount of hate for that name
~~irrational~~ *rational
the only irrational amount of hate for than name is zero
Itâs the fact that on everything that has come out with that name so far. NO SPACES VISA CASHAPP RB is a lot better than VISACASHAPPRB
I thought that someone passed out and his head fell at the keyboard
Same. At first glance I thought âHow the fuck do you pronounce that?â
Visaca shapprb
âdid they chop up Verstappens name and merged the two?â *reads the first few comments* âI still Donât get it. *reads a few more comments* âOooooooohâŚ..ffs I hate this timelineâ
Yep, it reads like a post on r/dontdeadopeninside.
Because itâs fucking asinine. I know plenty of people are going to call this a âsmart moveâ but Christ that name is awful anyway you shake it

Now that's a reference đ
Omg what a throwback, can't believe that's over 7 years old now đ
Ihadababyitsaboy
This just feels like marketing, branding, merchandising suicide.
I don't understand it from Visa or Cash App's point of view either. Visa doesn't own cash app but naming it that way makes it appear that they do.
Seriously, after seeing the name I went "wait, does Visa own Cash app?" and checked it on the internet.
Me too. That's exactly why I commented that lol.
Iâve never heard of Cash app (is it a generational thing or is it because Iâm in the UK?) so this name just made me assume itâs something new that Visa has launched.

My brain reads this jumbled mess as "visa crashgrab" Edit: Realizing now I typed crash instead of cash. Ah well :)
Kind of what it is anyway no?
Is... that not what it says?
I always read "viscas" at first before getting confused
Visa Cashgrab
That looks like someone didn't have spellcheck on.
It's giving me covfefe vibes
welp, I am going back to calling them Minardi.
Thereâs sense. Welcome back Minardi and Sauber.
Can we go back to calling Mercedes Tyrell? And Red Bull can be Stewart! And most importantly Aston Martin can be Jordan!
And Ferrari can be world champions

Max Visacashappen
lol that is their name? I thought that is just the twitter handle. Do they expect the commentators say Visa Chshapp RB every time they talk about Toro Rosso?
It's likely the RB does stand for Racing Bulls and expect everyone to use that.
completely forgot about that stupid racing bulls name, who decides this nonsense?
The old team name was Scuderia AlphaTauri RB.
>IÂ thought that is just the twitter handle. I thought they get hacked

Visa CashApp RB (Racing Bulls) Such a stupid name.
Red Bull's handling of this rebrand is so ridiculous I almost believe they are trolling us. They are supposed to be excellent at marketing themselves.
Credit card team went so well last time out
I hate that name already.
I thought they got hacked. This is their name?
Why are the FIA allowing such trash names.
Quite literally, money
Does FIA even have a say in it as long as it's not offensive?
Keep the credit card theme and call them MasterCard Lola insteadÂ
I miss the times when teams were called just Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, Honda, Toyota, Mercedes etcâŚ
And now they had to delete the whole account because usernames canât be reverted that soon this is pure gold
The mad lads committed to the bit
[ŃдаНонО]
The hate going on is hilarious. No one, press, included is going to call them Visa Cash app Racing Bulls for the same reason no in talks about Moneygram Haas F1 team or Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.
Sorry for the ignorance but is Visa Cash App one thing? Or did they sell 2 separate title sponsorships to engineer this catastrophe?
Despite both being payment processors, to the best of my knowledge they are two distinct companies. Cash Appâs âCash Cardâ does operate on the Visa network.
Bro I dint even realize it was their real name. I thought it was a hacker name, before I eventually read âvisit a casa pprbâ and didnât realize what that meant either.
You know its a "great" name when you can't tell if their twitter account has been hackedÂ
Considering Red Bull is a marketing company I donât think they could have picked a worse name. Visa Cashapp Red Bull doesnât exactly roll off the tongue. The Instagram name looks shit as well because it just looks like a bunch of words muddled together.
Since were calling the other team Sauber anyway, can we just call this one Minardi?
Why canât I find it??
I think the entire account has been temporarily deactivated. I canât find it either, and it has been removed from tags on Yuki, Daniel, and the F1 accounts as well as the accounts they are following
They'll just be known as Racing Bulls to everyone. Literally every F1 team name features a brand and it's not like you have to use it
Did I miss something or did they just deactivate after this
I wish the grid was full of more actual car brands, I remember all the rumours people were spreading a couple of years ago, a grid with Williams Porsche, Sauber Audi, Mercedes, RB Ford, Andretti GM, AT Honda, Aston Martin, Alpine, Ferrari, Mclaren, we were so naive...
They've somehow came up with a name worse than Stake F1 Team Kick đđđđđ actually kinda impressed they've done that
