The RB VCARB 01 is a Formula One car constructed by RB Formula One Team for the 2024 Formula One World Championship. The car is currently being driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda.
The Visa Cash App RB F1 Team is a Formula One racing team that made its debut in the 2024 Formula One season. The team was previously named AlphaTauri and Toro Rosso due to their affiliations with Red Bull Racing as a feeder outfit since 2006.
AlphaTauri competed from 2020 to 2023 in Formula One before announcing a rebranding in December 2023 alongside a new deal with Red Bull.
The new team aimed to improve their competitiveness in the grid, with major sponsors Visa Inc. and Cash App to provide stability in finance and marketing, and a closer technical partnership to Red Bull.
Laurent Mekies was the team principal for RB, replacing Franz Tost who retired in 2023, as the team underwent significant operation restructure.
The RB F1 team, which is based in Faenza, Italy, moved part of its operation into a new facility in Milton Keynes, England, next to Red Bull's headquarters. The team plans to operate between Italy and England at the end of the 2024 season. Mekies stated that RB would utilise the front and rear suspensions and gearbox from Red Bull in addition to the Honda RBPT power unit and engine.
The drivers' lineup was Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda with Liam Lawson named reserve driver for the 2024 season. All three drivers competed in the previous season of Formula One, earning 25 points to help AlphaTauri finish eighth in the constructors' standings. Ricciardo joined the team in July 2023 to replace Nyck de Vries, who was released after the British Grand Prix, and started in two races before sustaining a broken hand. As a result, Lawson filled in five races for the Australian and made his F1 debut at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix. The predecessor of the VCARB 01, the AlphaTauri AT04, was cited as the "one of the worst cars on the grid" by critics in the 2023 season.
