The FIA’s entry list for the 2024 Formula 1 season has confirmed Red Bull’s second team has been entered by a company named ‘Racing Bulls’.

However a representative of the team, which competed as AlphaTauri last year, confirmed to RaceFans the initials ‘RB’ in its new name does not stand for ‘Racing Bulls’ or another phrase.

It revealed its new name for the upcoming season yesterday incorporating new sponsorship from two financial services companies, one of which was already a Red Bull sponsor. AlphaTauri will compete under the new title ‘Visa Cash App RB’.

The initials ‘RB’ first appeared in the original 2024 entry list published by the FIA last month. The team was entered under the title ‘Scuderia AlphaTauri RB’ with its chassis identified as ‘RB’.

The appearance of the name ‘Racing Bulls’ prompted speculation the initials represented this new title. A Red Bull-owned company trademarked the name and a logo for ‘Racing Bulls’ last year. The name now appears on its website and is referred to in the domain the team uses for its emails.

However the team says its ‘RB’ identity is intended to bring their branding closer to that of Red Bull. The connection was less obvious when they competed as AlphaTauri, prior to which they spent 14 years using the name ‘Toro Rosso’, which is Italian for Red Bull. The team now refers to itself as VCARB.

Sauber’s official identity has also been revised on the FIA’s updated entry list in line with its change in sponsorship. Its team name, previously Sauber, is now listed as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber. Its chassis name remains Kick Sauber.
