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

I wonder what this super huge mega announcement coming before the end of the week is that Will Buxton is teasing? Posted after the Andretti news...

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?
Kind of surprising imo. A lot for Ferrari to be spending on payroll? |

Is this any different to the annual ‘Lewis has no contract’ rumours?

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. |

'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.' |

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.
