I’m unsure if this is a joke or if you didn’t know Toro Rosso is Italian for Red Bull. Please clarify.

I think he's saying it will be in a language other than Italian.

Eddie Jordan was apoplectic that alpine was valued at $700 mill in the reynolds negotiations. said maybe Ferrari, Mercedes or RB was worth that but alpine was preposterous

Yeah, but I am a little annoyed it’s Alpine. I’m a fan of that team, but now I fear it’s going to be a bandwagon team for the douchy Hollywood types.

A recent Missed Apex podcast mentioned that there isn't a lot of equity to buy at the moment. Alpine had a little bit, but other teams don't have much interest in selling equity.

That is a big deficit for AM at $55 MM.

Papa Stroll can afford it.

taureau rouge
rooi bul
toro vermell
toru rossu
taurus ruber
Taur rosu

These are my picks to replace toro rosso. Google translate has a ton more, but these are the closest if they want a subtle name change.

I'm going with Blue Bull but make the "u" in "Bull" kinda look like an "a."
