Visa Cash App RB aims to make a splash at this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix with a one-off vibrant, multi-colored "chameleon" livery on its VCARB 01 contender.

The unique design draws its inspiration from the Cash App Chameleon Card issued by its title sponsor Visa, a one-of-a-kind customizable metal prepaid debit card. .

While the team retains the familiar blue and silver engine cover and red and white wings, the rest of the car has undergone a dramatic transformation.

From the nose through the sidepods and towards the rear wing, a kaleidoscope of ‘Miami’ colors creates a striking and eye-catching visual.

The special Miami Grand Prix livery is a creative and strategic move that’s all about standing out in F1’s midfield pack.

“This incredible livery and the events surrounding its launch here in Miami demonstrate their commitment to the team and F1, and we can't wait to see the Chameleon VCARB01 in action this weekend.”

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
