@RacingPointF1 reveal 2020 challenger, the #RP20. #F1 @F1

Racing Point F1 Team revealed their 2020 contender, the Mercedes-powered RP20 at title-sponsor BWT’s headquarters on the shores of Lake Mondsee in Austria.

BWT, an Austrian water company, upgraded it’s sponsorship status to become Racing Point’s major title sponsor and hosted the Silverstone-based outfit’s launch at their headquarters.

Lance Stroll and Sergio Perez, will remain the team’s drivers for the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship season to ensure the squad’s stability.

Pink has been the main choice of colour for the team since the 2017 campaign with Stroll and Perez on hand to reveal the refreshing new look along with their Racing Point F1 Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer, whilst Technical Andrew Green was unable to attend the launch due to being back at the outfit’s home base preparing for pre-season testing, which begins on Wednesday at the Circuit De Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain.

“This year we want to be a strong fourth, we want to be closer to the top 3 than we’ve ever been in the past, and top of the midfield,” explained BWT Racing Point Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer. “This year we want to take a step up,”

 

“It’s not that easy, the competition’s getting stronger, McLaren did a really good job last year; Renault with the motor company and the 650 employees behind them; even Toro Rosso with the work that Honda did,” Szafnauer concluded. Credit to Racing Point F1 Team for the quote.

Racing Point F1 Team driver Perez, who recently extended his contract with the Silverstone-based squad commented:

“I never thought I’d be staying that long but it’s great – I’ve seen the team growing so much and with the new administration and support from BWT there is no other team doing as much as this team.”

 

“The future is looking bright and I’m very happy to get this contract extension.” Perez concluded. Credit to Racing Point for the quote.

Testing begins tomorrow at the Circuit De Barcelona-Catalunya with the team looking to hit the ground running and concludes next weekend on Friday February 28 before the season-opening Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix 2020 on the streets of Albert Park, Melbourne, Victoria from March 13-15.
