Having unveiled their new car and livery for the upcoming 2025 F1 season, the Visa Cash Racing Bulls team have now completed their first shakedown run at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.

Formula One's Faenza-based Racing Bulls team have launched an all-new livery and their new driver line up during the inaugural F1 Live Show while it also confirmed its new name for the upcoming season.

The Italian outfit has confirmed that it will be referred to as Visa Cash App Racing Bulls (still VCARB for short) after the 2024 F1 season when it was called RB.

The 2025 season sees a new look for VCARB as the team unveiled their all-new livery in London. The Faenza-based squad will sport an all-white outfit on track this season as a nod to the overall brand of Red Bull.

The team has also introduced Isack Hadjar who will joined Yuki Tsunoda as team-mate in 2025. The French driver will become the 19th driver to be promoted to F1 from the Red Bull Junior Program, which now sees four alumni across the two Red Bull Teams.

Speaking on joining the team, Hadjar said: “It’s been a life-long goal of mine to become an F1 driver, so it’s surreal to be here, living out my dream. I’m not expecting it to be easy, there’s a lot to learn, but I’m so happy to be learning from Yuki who is a seasoned pro in the sport, I can learn from him everything that a rookie needs to know!”

Entering his 5th season with VCARB, the Japanese driver commented: “I am hoping that my fifth season in F1 will be an extension of how the past years have gone, always making progress. I plan to nail it down even more, to be a more complete driver.

"By the end of last year, I had a stronger mindset and had more control than at the beginning of the season. After that, I want to be even more focused and work on improving the small margins.

"That can make the difference and allow us to continue fighting in the top 10, in what I expect to be an even tighter contest this year. I’ll take it step by step, but I’m feeling confident.”
