Random bits from an older McLaren vid for the 2023 car-launch. ☀️

I fell back onto this video and thought that it was so cute so I edited this small part. Oscar almost knocking off the water bottle is so painfully relatable. 🥸

Daniel addressing the negative reaction to his team’s new name

#I mean did he lie tho?#sure it’s great to have legacy attached to a name #but in a resource-intensive sport like f1 the sponsors are king #and even if a legacy team like mclaren have some £5 vape manufacturer on their car or others have defunct crypto exchanges #what can a back fielder like RB to do if they actually want to get ahead?#for all the moaning about red bull having two teams at least they’re not just content to lounge at the back simply #because they don’t want to invest more in the team (cough Haas cough)#daniel ricciardo #car launch 2024

Formula 1 Car Naming Conventions

With F1 car launches in full force, I have been looking into why teams name their cars the way that they do. Each team has a different naming convention. Some of the naming conventions are easy to understand like RB19. Then there are the many Ferrari naming conventions (SF-23, F1-75, SF1000, etc).

So here are the current naming conventions for each team in order of car launch dates.

Haas

The 2024 Haas car is called the VF-24.

In an article for the 2016 Haas Car Launch, it was explained why they named the car the VF-16.

The first CNC machine manufactured by Haas Automation in 1988. It was unofficially named the VF-1, otherwise known as the Very First 1. For Formula 1, Haas kept the VF and changed the 1 for the last two digits of the year. VF-16 = 2016, VF-23 = 2023, etc.

Williams

The 2024 Williams car is called the FW46.

Every car by Williams has carried the FW prefix, with the first one being the FW06 in 1978. The FW in the name stands for the founder of the team, Sir Frank Williams. Despite the Williams family no longer being involved in the team, the current owners have kept the naming convention as a link to the storied history of Williams Racing.

If the car keeps the same chassis as the previous year, then a B is added to the end of the name to show that it is a B-Spec car (and on a few occasions there have been C-Spec cars).

Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber

The 2024 Sauber car is called the C44.

Sauber made its debut with the C12 in 1993 and has since used this naming convention except for the BMW Sauber years. But after BMW left, Sauber returned to using C and picked up the numbers where it would have been if the naming convention hadn't changed.

The C stands for Peter Sauber's wife Christiane. His first car was called the C1 and since then all Sauber cars (with the exception of the BMW Sauber cars) have used the C for Christiane.

Alpine

The 2024 Alpine car is called the A524.

Since Renault became Alpine in 2021, all of their cars have had the following naming formula: A + 5 + the last two digits of the year.

In January 2021, the team explained why the 2021 car was called the A521. The A is for Alpine. The 5 is for A500, which was a prototype for the 1975 F1 season. All of the cars since 2021, have followed this naming convention and have just changed the 21 to correspond with the current year.

Visa Cash App RB

The Visa Cash App RB 2024 car is called the VCARB 01.

There really isn't much about the team as of right now due to the rebrand changing up everything from the previous AlphaTauri stuff. However, VCARB is the acronym for the team name and this is the first car to be run under the rebrand, thus the 01.

Aston Martin

The Aston Martin 2024 car is called the AMR24.

Since 2021, Aston Martin has used the same naming convention: AMR + the last 2 digits of the current year. The AMR stands for Aston Martin Racing.

Ferrari

The 2024 Ferrari car is named the SF-24.

However, unlike the other teams, it is hard to predict what the Ferrari will be named. In recent years, there have been the F1-75, SF21, SF1000, SF90, F14-T, and 150º Italia just to list a few of the names.

For 2024, it is a simple naming convention that has been used in the past. SF = Scuderia Ferrari and then the last two digits of the year the car will be run.

RacingNews365 made a chart of every Ferrari car since 2000 and the meaning behind the name. For the most part, the formula for naming the car is either Ferrari/Scuderia Ferrari + year or important event commemoration.

Ferrari also uses the dash inconsistently which doesn't really mean anything, but is just not the most aesthetically pleasing when looking at a list of all the car names.

Mercedes

The 2024 Mercedes car is called the W15.

All Mercedes cars have had a W in the car name, even the 1954 and 1955 cars. The 2010 Mercedes car was the W01 and since then the team has continued chronologically.

The W stands for Wagen which means car in German.

McLaren

The 2024 McLaren car is called the MCL38.

The numbers have been ascending since almost the beginning with a few B-Spec cars for the most part. However, the beginning letters have changed over the years. Since 2017, McLaren has used MCL. And just as it looks, MCL is short for McLaren.

The 2023 car didn't have the chronological number due to honoring McLaren's 60 years of history.

Red Bull

The 2024 Red Bull car is named the RB 20.

Since its first year, the Red Bull cars have been given the RB designation along with a chronologically ascending number. The RB as expected stands for Red Bull.

The RB 20 marks 20 seasons of Red Bull in Formula One.

The McLaren MCL38

Here is the second new F1 car from yesterday. The McLaren is a evolution of last years car, which was the best hunter of Red Bull in the second half of the season, after a very bad first half. I couldn't find many facts about the changes in the technical stuff and it also looks very similar to last years car, so here are just photos.

Here is the other new car of yesterday, The Mercedes W15, in case you missed it.

Not McLaren skipping over Daniel’s win in that montage.

It was the team’s first win for 9 years and a 1-2 but they still left it out.

Daniels whole demeanour and confidence at the gp though. He was absolutely walking and was feeling himself which makes me soso hopeful esp from his comments about next year and the stuff about the sim too. And him wanting himself to race, the belief in himself to go out and do what he loves!! I think the whole things with the fans and support is just a bonus tbh, like I do believe he would’ve decided he wants to come back either way with or without the huge reaction he was getting at the weekend but I like to think it shows him how supported and loved he is.

right and it was also such a nice (and interesting) progression from the launch as well, where even then he was SO excited and it felt like he probably kinda already knew that he wanted to get back on the grid, even if he wasn't quite ready to say it yet 🤧

#it DOES make me wonder if the initial poor outing in the sim was pre winter break tho #like right off the back of abu dhabi still in that kinda fucked headspace #going into winter break wondering if this is the end of the road if the mclaren fucked him up so bad that he can't come back from it #and because of that throwing himself so completely into to the break and not thinking about racing at all just because he Can #(and because maybe this is just How It Is now and he because he better get used to it)#only to come back from the break and jump in the sim; kinda dreading it cause what if it's still just as bad and fucked #but then it's???? not???? maybe only marginally better but there are flashes of what he used to be buried in there #and as time goes on more and more of that old daniel keeps getting uncovered and it feels GOOD #so by the time he's at the launch he's like pretty sure that if things continue like this he's gonna be back #but it's too early to say it just yet so he just holds it in. plays coy.#spends a bit more time in the sim and it's only getting better and better #to the point where he KNOWS he'll be back on the grid (and back in the red bull) it's just a matter of time #and showing up to melbourne with the glow of it all compounded by the leagues and leagues of fans still there supporting him #and telling him they hope to see him back soon :(#dan #red bull redux #answered #anonymous #insane about it actually #and if this is what he's done in just 2-3 months.....and there's three more months before he even gets in an irl car.....😵‍💫
