[ 2020 ] Racing Point F1 Team - Mercedes

[Big Tea]

Aston Martin announced today they were concluding their WEC GT-pro class participation in an effort to support the F1 project. They of course made a similar announcement re their WEC Hypercar class plans months ago. Aston did state their would be a partnership with ProDrive to continue major support of their WEC GT-am class customers.

Prodrive builds and supports all existing Aston Martin GT cars anyway so that's business as usual.

Prodrive were also very involved with the Valkyrie although they were not going to run the WEC hypercar program, I believe that was going to be through a RBR linkup instead.

Is dave richards still at prodrive? a very useful man to have on your team

DR is still the big boss at Prodrive and both Prodrive/David Richards have a long history with Aston Martin, but DR himself isn't directly involved with the separate Aston Martin F1 team (ex-Racing Point).

I wouldn't expect Prodrive or David Richards to step up and run the Aston Martin F1 like they did with BAR Honda but the link exists and more involvement between Prodrive and Aston Martin F1 could happen.

I hope it is not an omen, but I can not help thinking that looks like a headstone waiting for the dates to be added

At first, I thought it was made from old pallets...

I predict they won't even bother painting the silver car green and just leave it Silver since Mercedes is black anyways.

Nope, I read there will be no pink at all

Pink was BWT’s corporate color. Aston has previously stated their car will sport British Racing Green — and given BWT is gone I don’t see a source of pink

Too bad. British Racing Green and Rose Pink look phenomenal together...

[Big Tea]

They could do behind the panels pink, like with (white) people

Do we know this for sure? Some sources say that BWT is gone...other say that BWT will remain as a smaller sponsor. We may yet see a pink rear wing!
