Ludo van Denderen is a motorsport journalist at GPblog, specializing in Formula 1 and international racing series.

With a new name Visa Cash App RB, the Italian team has managed to generate some attention, especially on social media. To put it mildly, the reactions have not been particularly positive. A small view of the reactions on X.

The team's new name had long been leaked, would this be the design of the car? Probably not, but a nice try!

With Stake F1, a remarkable name already came onto the F1 grid. Could it get any worse, suggests this X-follower?

How do you articulate your feelings about the name? Like this!
