It's a horrendous name.

However you can appreciate that if it was called Visa Minardi CashApp Racing or Visa Toro Rosso CashApp Racing then everyone would be talking about Minardi or Toro Rosso and not about Visa and/or CashApp.

The horehounds name also incorporates RB or Racing Bulls while discouraging calling the team that as it is too similar to Red Bull Racing. The marketing department are confident that many "high-profile activation opportunities" will ensue.

[My vote is Visa Minardi CashApp Racing or just Minardi Racing for short, but too late now...]

I'm going with ViCash, sounds fierce and tough (yes, that's sarcastic and intentionally dumb). But then I still want to call McLaren in Indy SPAM because they are Schmidt Peterson with some little English outfit helping so maybe I'm not the best guy for new names

Well, Marko always did remind me of Blofeld, in a way...

...and Alonso's car always seems to be at the front, as if he's chasing them...

Hmmmm...

Only the new kittens. They keep getting beat up by a young but very strong tom. It does seem he has brought back an older cat. Some say that cat is on the back end of his peak. But he is a popular and happy go lucky cat and is popular. We may see what happens this season with that cat.

Lewis to Ferrari in 2025? That is what is floating around. I think Carlos' contract is through end of 2024 and he wants a 2yr extension, but that hasn't happened yet. So one 2025 Ferrari seat is at play. Lewis also just switched his management team around. Maybe to facilitate a move?

It kind of makes sense. But even if Ferrari have a decent car, they have spent years practicing how to shoot themselves in the foot, that surely this would all end in tears. How would Hamilton react to the incompetence on strategy etc that Ferrari have a history of showing?

Carlos moving to Merc then?

If Hamilton takes his seat at Ferrari, then my guess would be:

Sainz to RBR

Perez to Audi

Mercedes to test the water tightness of Norris' McLaran contract.



But I'm only typing what 1st comes into my head.

Yes - it seems to be more than just rumour:

'A number of senior sources say a deal between the seven-time champion and Ferrari has been agreed and could be announced as early as Thursday.

Ferrari want Hamilton to join Charles Leclerc for the 2025 season.

The 39-year-old signed a new two-year deal with Mercedes for 2024 and 2025 last summer but it seems he can leave after one season, should he choose.

The possibility of Hamilton moving to Ferrari in 2025 was reported in the Italian and Spanish media on Thursday.

BBC Sport has since verified the fact that it is a serious possibility.'

Definitely can see the logic of moving to a manu funded team but it’s still a Sauber underneath and will be for some time. One would think he will be looking for a team capable of wins or podiums at least?

I can't see Carlos going to RBR and Perez to Audi. I would think Carlos is likely looking to be #1 somewhere vs. #2 at RBR? I like Carlos to Sauber/Audi. Who then is #1 at Sauber? I tend to think Bottas was thinking he would be the #1 as they move into the Audi era? I personally rate Carlos above Bottas.
