Following Juri Vips' resignation, Red Bull Racing was left without a reserve driver. That gap has now been filled,
as Christian Horner has confirmed that Liam Lawson will take over the position.

That is very strange because Liam became a reserve driver for RB when they fired Juri Vips for one wrong word he said in June 2022.
Also I can't find Peter Bayers name in your article.

AlphaTauri's Milton Keynes shift critical to its F1 success, says Bayer
AlphaTauri Formula 1 team CEO Peter Bayer says the expansion of the Faenza outfit's UK facility at a new location in Milton Keynes
is key to its future plans.

The soon-to-be-renamed team has long had an aerodynamics department in Bicester, but as part of its ongoing expansion, its British base will be moved to Milton Keynes, close to the home of sister squad Red Bull.
The new facility, which will also house vehicle dynamics staff, will be larger and better equipped than its predecessor.
Bayer believes that the move will help the team to compete for top talent in the UK’s busy F1 job market.
“The Milton Keynes Performance Centre is necessary because the Bicester facility is becoming too small already,” Bayer told Autosport. “We don't have any parking spaces, we have no canteen.
“We have to be an attractive employer. First of all, it obviously starts with the team as such, with the identity, but then there's also the facilities and the opportunities for people to have a career path. And that's why those facilities will be extremely important.
“Also, the lease in Bicester is running out, so we had to make a move anyway. And the advantage of obviously being closer to Red Bull Racing and their campus is that it will be easier for us when it's about wind tunnel work, about simulator work. So that all will make life easier for all the engineers.”
Bayer acknowledges that it’s always been difficult to get British engineers to move to Italy.
“In terms of moving people we have anyway aerodynamicists and designers, and the model shop is in the UK,” he said.
“But we are currently running quite an intense recruiting campaign and we are now happy to offer top British talent a workplace in the UK. Because for them, I hate to say that, Faenza is beautiful, but it's an issue.
“I give you my own example. When I started, I took my wife, we drove to Faenza. She said, 'Oh, it's beautiful.’ And we had pizza and drove out to the sea. And then she said, 'So, what about the school?'. I said, ‘I don't think there is one.'. ‘And what about potential job opportunities for me?'. I don't think there [are any].’
What exactly do you mean with your "that"?
Are you kidding? Sounds horrid!

That link (see also in the article) doesn't exist by the way.It seems reasonable to assume that “Visa Cash App Racing Bulls” will be the team’s new identity in 2024.
Visa and Cash App set to become AlphaTauri’s 2024 title sponsors
Heading into 2024, one of the big questions is what AlphaTauri’s new name and branding will become.
Over the last few months, the name “Racing Bulls” has been consistently mentioned in F1 news outlets and reports. As it stands, this name will feature.
With that said, this name will be accompanied by fresh partners. Visa and Cash App are understood to be the Faenza-based team’s title sponsors.
The website racingbulls.com (which was registered by Red Bull some time ago) is now redirecting to visacashapprb.com.
