remember that many European F1 fans were extremely sniffy about the heavy
sponsorship carried by Indy cars. But then, horror of horrors, Lotus
abandoned their traditional British Racing Green and appeared in full John
Player Gold Leaf livery.

How will the commentators refer to them I wonder. “RBs” possibly?

Q: Which team first had a sponsor, the first race with sponsor,
and the sponsor's name?
A: At the 1968 Spanish GP Lotus appeared in the red and gold
livery of Gold Leaf Cigarettes. If privateers are considered
then one must credit John Love and Sam Tingle, whose "Team
Gunston" Brabham-Repco and LDS-Repco ran in the colors of that
cigarette brand at the season-opening South African event.

the chassis. Although Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is the
name of that team nobody calls the cars anything other than Mercedes
during event coverage.
The name of the formerly-AlphaTauri chassis, according to the updated
FIA entry list, is RB, and unless this changes I would be surprised if
RB isn't used to refer to them. Note that the former Alfa Romeo team is
now Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, but the chassis (again per the FIA) is
Kick Sauber; I expect to hear Kick Sauber (or just Sauber when Crofty
gets excited) but not Stake.
