The new incarnation of the AlphaTauri team appears to have been inadvertently on social media, and reaction has been...mixed.

The Red Bull junior team were spotted changing their Instagram handle to 'VisaCashAppRB' - assumed to be shorthand for Visa Cash App (or CashApp) Racing Bulls - on Thursday evening.

Alfa Romeo's rebrand (hello Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber!) didn't go down particularly well online, but that was nothing compared to the outpouring of opinions when it came to 'VCARB'.

A number of users labelled it the worst team name in F1 and, among the less generous, 'in any sport ever'.
