Last year we had the worst selection of liveries, this year it applies to names.

I know it is only a name, but man, there is no relatable human connection with that name at all (sell out), and my irrational brain aleady couldn't give a shit about the team. At least Alpha Tauri sounded like an actual name even if it was named after a company. And that is the difference. One had a semi relatable identity, the other just a jumble of corporate names that I couldn't give a shit about. Completely stupid of me? Yes, yes it is. But me thinks I am not alone in that feeling.

You could just use the initials and call it VCARB.

Still nothing on what the constructor name is - the official website still has Alpha Tauri https://www.formula1.com/en/teams.html. It might just be 'RB'. So call them RBs.

Why does the new AT name make me remember the Mastercard Lola from 1997.

To answer my own question, the constructor name is simply 'RB'.

Haas was the one that thought William Story was a good idea right?

Expect a return to Rich Energy Haas, and the guy to have actually paid all his bills this time :whistling:

Still not seeing what the fuss is about, just look at BTCC team names from the last 15 years or so. Everyone will refer to the cars by the constructor name anyway, the same way it's always been.

That´s not a safe pit exit.

About the track: remember how we said that old Hockenheim had something unique?
Well, Madrid doesn´t.
