Page 1 of 1 During a tumultuous 2018 season, the Force India Formula 1 team changed hands and re-emerged in 2019 as Racing Point F1. The new owner was a consortium headed by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll. Accordingly, it came as no surprise that one of the two Racing Point drivers for the new year was Stroll's son Lance. He joined long-time Force India driver Sergio Perez.
The car built for Stroll and Perez to race was dubbed the Racing Point RP19 and it finally broke cover at the first of two four-day test sessions at Barcelona. It was instantly recognisable as an evolution of the 2018 car with most modifications made to meet the revised regulations that stipulate a simpler front wing and a taller and wider rear wing. The team is expected to bring out a comprehensive update at the first Grand Prix of the year in Australia. Page 1 of 1
