Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar are set to make their much-anticipated debut in the 2025 VCARB Formula 1 car on February 17 at Italy's famous Imola circuit, officially known as the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.

However, this will not be a chance for fans to see the livery for the first time as the VCARB 02 will sport a camouflage design to save the unveiling for the F1 75 event in London the day after.

The F1 75 event, organized by Formula 1, will feature all ten F1 teams revealing their 2025 liveries together. It marks a shift from traditional individual team launches to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the sport.

Originally entering Formula 1 as Minardi in 1985, the team joined the Red Bull family in 2006 and was subsequently renamed Scuderia Toro Rosso. This iteration served as a training ground for rising talents in the Red Bull Junior Program.

In 2020, the team was rebranded as Scuderia AlphaTauri, coinciding with the promotion of Red Bull's fashion brand, until its 2024 change to the Visa Cash App RB F1 Team.

Driver Yuki Tsunoda, entering his fifth season with the team, has grown with the team through its various identity changes. Alongside him, Isack Hadjar makes his entry into Formula 1, following a successful stint in Formula 2.

VCARB somewhat unexpectedly found itself reshuffling drivers. After Daniel Ricciardo was replaced by Liam Lawson during the season, Lawson's promotion to Red Bull Racing for 2025 opened up the spot for Hadjar.
