Here Are 15 F1 Team Names Worse Than Visa Cash App Racing Bulls
By now you will likely have heard the news that Red Bull’s junior team in Formula 1 has changed its name again. Initially known as Scuderia Toro Rosso when Red Bull purchased the Faenza-based Minardi team in 2006, it operated as Scuderia AlphaTauri (named after Red Bull’s Austrian high fashion brand) from 2020 to 2023. As of this week the team has once again re-branded, this time as Visa Cash App Racing Bulls. It’s a bad name, but it could be so much worse.
Here are 15 worse things that an F1 team could be named. None of these are real, of course, they’re far too bad to be real.

EuroBrun would be a terrible name for an F1 team. Nobody would ever do that. Obviously this is worse than Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.
Zakspeed Racing
Who is Zaks, and why have they peed?
Onyx Grand Prix
Onyx like the Pokemon. At least you’d know it was strong against fire types. Bad team name.
Mastercard Lola
Surely there’s no way that a giant company like Mastercard would put its name on a car from a storied racing brand like Lola. And if it did, that car definitely wouldn’t fail to qualify at the first race of the year and then never race again. That sounds impossible.
Etihad Aldar Spyker F1 Team
Spyker, like the Dutch supercar brand Spyker? There’s no way they’d ever buy a Formula 1 team.
BAR
If you’re going to start an F1 team that is partially run in Britain and partially run in America, you can definitely come up with a more creative name than British-American Racing. You’d have to.
NART
Certainly one of the most iconic and influential independent racing teams of the 1950s and ‘60s wouldn’t be called North American Racing Team. Just like British-American Racing, it’s just too lazy. And Ferrari definitely wouldn’t protest the decision to exclude the 250LM from competition before it was properly homologated by painting its cars white and blue and having them entered by NART. That sounds like FART.
Racing Point Force India Formula One Team
That name is too long. No way.
Leyton House Formula One Racing Team
A teal racing livery just goes so hard. That kind of awesome livery has to come from an exciting team brand, like Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. Grand Prix Team. There’s no way a Japanese real estate brand called Leyton House did this. It’s too cool.
Copersucar-Fittipaldi
Oh, sugar.
Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team
This is all gibberish.
Andrea Moda Formula
It’sa too mucha.
Benetton Formula 1 Racing Team
Benetton? Isn’t that a clothing store?
BMW Sauber F1 Team Ferrari
It’s a Ferrari-powered BMW? I doubt it. There’s no way that car has any BMW parts. Why would it be named BMW? That would never happen.
Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives
Oh, the French? Yeah, they probably did name it that.
