That's a terrible name, do I have to say the whole thing?

[–] BowserBasher@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Agree. Heck just Racing Bulls would have been better.

Here's a suggestion... and hear me out here...

Minardi.

What a team that was. Professional backmarkers but an unbelievable eye for talent.

[–] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What in the horrendous ad-ridden actual fuck is this?

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's working fine on duck duck go and firefox

[–] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was referring to the AlphaTauri name. Sorry for the confusion.

[–] Stuttgart273@lemmy.one 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Might as well get two more sponsors for the name while your're at it.

FR though these names are just getting longer and harder to pronounce.

And to think just a few years ago F1 used to look down upon the NASCAR Taco Bell Mountain Dew Baja Blast 400.

[–] evanuggetpi@lemmy.nz 5 points 10 months ago

Urgh. Terrible.

Stake and Visa. Superb names for Formula 1 teams.

(Granted, people said the same thing about Red Bull when they joined, but still..)

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At least out of context of the trademark, “Red Bull” sounds like a tough, angry, charging animal.

“Visa” doesn’t evoke speed; “Visa Cash App” sounds ridiculous. How is anyone even supposed to refer to them? “The Visa Cash Apps looked poor in qualifying today” “the Visa Cash App has DRS now” “the Visa has 5 cards on its wheel display, the first one being the master card” 🙄

Fucking name your team something cool and then do like a Visa livery coloring or something, ugh. “The Visas” sounds like they had issues with passports

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, not for nothing, but a blue, yellow and white visa liveried car would be fire in contrast to all of the various shades of black and red cars we have on the grid.

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Some AI examples.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We're gonna end up with a bunch of crypto.com ASDA "brought to you by Swedish Fish" Alpine

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

"Swedish Fish Alpine" sounds meme-y enough tp be funny bth

[–] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Hey AT, Alfa Romeo is out! You are now the only cars people mean when they talk about the Alphas! Cool right?"

"Nahh, we are the ViCaAp Racing Bulls now."

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

“ViCaPa” sounds like a twitch chatter shitting on Linux text editors

There, that’s the most Lemmy comment in this community so far

Yeah, that is a truly god awful name. Not just because of the stupid sponsors in the name, but also it will almost certainly need to be shortened in order to actually make it less of a mouthful. I’m guessing people will just call them Racing Bulls, except that is kind of close to Red Bull’s main team name and could be confusing. VCARB?

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Well I'm certainly not going to shorten it the the VISA Cash Apps.

[–] alphacyberranger@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Never thought Racing Bulls would actually seem like a good name.
