Why 2020 will be Racing Point's true test of progress
After financial turmoil plagued the end of its Force India days, the Racing Point team has been rejuvenated by Lawrence Stroll's ownership. Although 2019's performances were affected by a hangover from its money troubles, 2020 will be the clearest indication of the team's progress
In many respects, the Australian Grand Prix will be the real start of Racing Point's tenure under fashion mogul Lawrence Stroll.
When the billionaire Canadian businessman saved the team - then known as Force India - in the summer of 2018, numerous elements of the 2019 were already fixed in place, having been developed in a way that saved money. When the design process began, the team was struggling and didn't have a lot of resources to spare for its longer-term future - which impinged on the eventual RP19's overall performance.
