   Why don’t they call it Red Bull 2 and be done with it? It’s not like people don’t know it’s their B-team

   +1 RedBull having Racing Bull to take massive points off other teams will ensure the championship is wrapped up earlier than ever next season. You can already see the influence on what Alpha Tauri are testing now. Are we supposed to believe it’s a coincidence that RedBull and Alpha Tauri both being 2024 floors to test one race apart…

      Are Alpha Tauri taking massive points off Ferrari and Mercedes?
      I think it’s unfair to try and blame RBR having a 2nd team, which gives opportunities to young drivers, for other teams failings and predicted failings for next year.

   What was ever wrong with Torro Rosso? Dignified in its verbal disparity but still paralleled the red bull nicely while paying tribute to its Italian team’s base.

   Racing Bulls means absolutely nothing by comparison, might as well be called Red Bull 2. Why not at this point? Hey why not just call it what it is; the budget cap doubler.

      An excellent suggestion. It’s quite catchy, too.

   The word ‘bull’ in plural form is slightly weird.

      First few times I saw it I couldn’t help but see it with the added _hit … I think that’s the only time I’ve ever seen the letter s after bull. The position of the bulls rear end doesn’t help.

         This actually makes it seem a bit like an April Fools’ news item.

   So we will have Red Bull (Racing) = RB(R) and Racing Bulls (Racing?) = RB(R)?

   Good, this definitely got rid of some clarity.

   They should rebrand it so heavily that they don’t have a second team anymore. Or 3rd and 4th cars, whichever way you want to look at it

      Or
      Red Bull Total Zero
      Red Bull Zero
      Red Bull Energy Shot
      Red Bull Editions
      But they already exist

      Merc Money Machine fans could be happy with the first two.

    May as well just call them Red Bull Reserves or Red Bull B Team.

    What about:

    Bulls Hit

    It would be quite appropriate, given what comes out of the mouths of the main team’s management.

    AlphaTauri and Red Bull are delighted to announce that 7 year old Heinrich form Wartberg an der Krems won the competition for: ‘find a new original generic team name for the team formerly known as AlphaTauri’ as the winner of the first price Heinrich will be invited for a drinking a shoey at the Racing Bull headquarters and design the logo. Congratulations Heinrich.

    In other news Toto Wolf is seriously confused about the new team name and is afraid he will be wondering all winter long what it means. Will Mercedes be Racing the Bulls next year or will they spend another season simply Hating the Bulls.

    Fitting image, because it would be the worst team name since Racing Point.

    Why is this even allowed? The rules cleary state that each competitor can and must use two cars. Two. Not four.

    Given how often Horner speaks on behalf of this “team” it should be obvious to everyone, even the FIA whose officials can be a bit obtuse, that this is one team.

    If F1 doesn’t want an 11th team ‘because money’, just ditch the Red Bull test squad and give their garages to real competitors.

       For RBR to get any benefit from the Alpha Tauri development then the cars would need to be near identical with each team branching off on a different path and then converging on the quickest design, over and over again.
       It’s the same as Mercedes or Ferrari getting a good look at the RBR floor and trying to bolt it onto their car, it will be totally useless unless it compliments the entire concept of their design.
