The newly-named Stake F1 team have teased their new branding, with fans being given a potential sneak preview of a new livery.

In a video on X |(formerly known as Twitter), a Formula 1 car races past the screen along a black and green 'track'.

Among a green mist, it is evident to see the direction in which the team's new colour scheme could go, and it leads to clues that the livery for the team - who have changed their name twice since the last grand prix - may be black and green.

Stake F1 have also managed to get Drake involved to sell their new identity, with the Canadian rapper and singer saying in the video:

"Guess who just took the wheel? We did.

"The Stake F1 team era is here. Buckle up."
