The Red Bull sister team held a big launch event to unveil its first car under the new name. Moreover, the Faenza-based team invited American rapper Kendrick Lamar.

The Red Bull sister team launched the VCARB01, its car for the upcoming season. The 2024 challenger has a striking livery which could be traced back to the Toro Rosso designs in 2017 and 2018. The base of the VCARB01 is in deep metallic blue with a silver bull. The white and red stripes further enhance the design.

One fan claimed that Lamar was the reserve driver for VCARB as part of the driver lineup alongside Ricciardo and Tsunoda. The fan commented, “visa cash app rb f1 team drivers and their reserve driver.” On the other hand, another user stated that perhaps Kendrick Lamar didn’t actually want to be at the car launch of the Italian team.
