The Racing Bulls F1 squad will contest this weekend's United States Grand Prix with a one-off tortoise livery.
At the Anglo-Italian team, Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson will run a VCARB 02 car dressed in a pearlescent black and brown tortoise shell pattern with gold detailing, complementing its usual white livery.
The livery is a nod to sponsor Cash App and its tortoise prepaid Visa debit card, which it launched earlier this year in collaboration with popular American artist Shaboozey.
The striking tortoise pattern will also feature on Hadjar's and Lawson's race suits, team kit and garage detailing.
"I was excited to launch this card earlier this year and now seeing it come to life on an F1 car is electric," said Shaboozey, who also featured in a short film promoting the partnership.
Visa Cash App Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer said: "Once again, we have tapped into culture in a way that's uniquely VCARB. These special liveries have become part of our identity; moments where motorsport meets music, fashion and creativity. The design we're bringing to the track this weekend is another bold expression of that spirit, and Austin is the perfect place to bring it to life."
Racing Bulls previously ran a one-off magenta livery at May's Miami Grand Prix to highlight the launch of a new Red Bull flavour, and it also tied up with Warner Brothers for the Hollywood blockbuster Twister last year as it aims to use popular culture to connect with F1's younger and more diverse fanbase.
