A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Sport Pesa Racing Point F1 Team 2019 RP19 speculation thread

Post

This is the speculation thread about the 2019 car from Point Racing. Rumors, articles, ideas and fantasies about the car can be posted here. Once the car gets officially launched, this thread will be closed and discussion continues in the official thread.

Yep, the car's name is certainly wrong, any better suggestions?

OK, hopefully now this is the right name?

Hopefully they will get some new Canadian & other new global sponsors that did not want to join while the team was in ownership of Force India.

The thread name should be "Racing Point...." and not "Point Racing...".

One thing for sure - that image doesn't show their car draped in cloth... :lol:

Thanks, that part done.

Now, what are the chances that Villay Mallya features in the name next year?

Would be really awkward if the chassis would be named STR after Lawrence Stroll for next year. STR19 :P

Whatever his personal situation is, the reason why FI has punched above it's weight, is the way he ran this organization. If they keep VJM in the chassis name as a tribute to that fact, it would be the least that the new owners can do to thank him. But I doubt that would happen and we might see something like RP01.

Team is going to change name 'Racing Point' before starting of 2019 season; that's what I read somewhere. Do they have to change chassis name as well?

That's for sure. Looks almost like a car from the narrow front wing era. Look how thin the top of the air box is. No halo.

Looks like a McLaren MP4-16. Highish nose, square sidepod shoulders, cooling chimneys, single, tall bargeboard top along the side of the tub, narrow front wing, wide and low rear wing.

This thread should probably be renamed the Rp stroll 1 speculation thread since it is apparent they all links to force india and vj are being removed.

Does RP enhance technical tie-up with Mercedes for 2019(more in line with Haas-Ferrari)?

Maybe we get to see some renders today, while the livery is presented in Toronto
