Yeah I thought Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber was bad...
The clowns at Liberty allow these team names, yet won't let Andretti and GM in because it "will dilute the value of F1".
FOM is heading in the wrong direction - the constant search for $$$$.
Too many races, trying to find new venues that are just not what it use to be..
Maybe as a function of age - racing on an old school track (whichever: Silverstone, Monza, etc) doesn't pay enough.
Monaco notwithstanding it's legacy(since 1950) was never an exciting race following qualifying....
Seven street tracks...will only increase over time

Brings back memories of the Mastercard Lola team that entered only one race, the 1997 Australian GP, but failed to qualify by finishing 11 seconds (!) behind Jacques Villeneuve's pole time.
No, the official team name will be Visa Cash App RB Team.
Not sure if "Racing Bulls" was ever seriously considered by management or was just something rumored by the F1 media.
Still made more appearances than the USF1 team and also Stefan GP back in 2010 though lol.
I read somewhere that was what RB stood for but that might be false info.
I’m now in between calling it Visa CashGrab or just mostly ignoring the team like last season.
Vcarb works for me but commentators would have to explain it every race, I expect they will go with RB, although that not great either.
If they are having a bad season we could always call them Crash App

Lando Norris has signed a "multi-year" contact extension with McLaren past 2025, though the specific terms have yet to be revealed.
Street Circuit would be more likely. NASCAR's street race in 2023 was evidently a strong success, though that circuit layout would not suit F1.
That being said, I see this more as securing some IP* and not a strong sign that the US would be getting a fourth race (or that Austin would drop in favor of Chicago) in the near future. F1 had filed TMs for Miami, Las Vegas and New York in the past and only two of those made it to the Calendar.
The current Concorde Agreement caps the number of races annually at 24 and I do not see that number going up with the next Agreement. If anything, it might go down considering the strain 23 races put on the teams in 2023.
* - CART called their 1999-2002 races the "Chicago Grand Prix" and "Grand Prix of Chicago".

Andreti and GM’s bid to become the 11th team from 2025 has been denied.
While the team's application for the 2026 season has been denied, F1 did say they would reconsider an entry for the 2028 season once GM has their own powerplant in place (as opposed to entering in 2026 with a customer Renault engine and then moving to a Cadillac engine in 2028).
F1 rejects Andretti bid to join by 2026 but door left open for 2028
Formula 1 rejects the American Andretti team's bid to enter the sport in the next two years - but the door is left open for admission from 2028.

By 2028 I expect a lot to change in F1. Who knows what teams might have decided to pull out. With the change to mainstream EV’s I can see less F1 desire from the car manufacturers.

I really hope Lewis doesn't go to Ferrari but understand he might want them on his CV before he retires. He best get a championship at Mercedes in the next year as that won't be happening at the Scuderia any time soon. I'd never cheer for a Ferrari either.

I wonder who will partner him if he does? A lot of suggestions are placing Ocon there due to his history working with Mercedes. Not sure about that as he's being shown up by Gasly at Alpine. I wonder if Lando is regretting his decision now as Mercedes now have Allison back at the design helm and have potential to be challenging again soon?
Makes sense now why Carlos was only given a year contract, but he has had a tough time at Ferrari despite winning twice.
I think Ferrari is making a big mistake letting go of Carlos. Sure Lewis Hamilton ended up in third place, can't see he would have managed to do that in a Ferrari although I do like supporting Ferrari.
Now what would have been fun is if he replaced Sergio, that way we'd see some more competition, fighting, and gives Lewis a chance to become 8 time world champion. But as I understand his salary demands are silly for someone who hasn't really won a race for a long time.
