Racing Point made their racing debut at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix. Sergio Pérez and Lance Stroll will be the team’s drivers for the 2020 season. The car for the 2019 season, the Racing Point RP19, was announced in Toronto, Canada. It is due to be rebranded to Aston Martin for the 2021 Formula One season. Team’s origins lie in the Jordan Grand Prix team, which first raced in 1991. The Silverstone-based team was renamed Force India for the 2008 season, its fourth identity in as many years. Force India saw moderate success across its 10 and a half years in Formula One, achieving a pole position at the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, six podium places and finishing 4th in the World Constructors’ Championship in both 2016 and 2017.
During the 2018 season, Force India was put into administration as a result of financial and legal troubles encountered by team owner Vijay Mallya. The team’s assets were purchased by Racing Point UK, a consortium led by Canadian businessman Lawrence Stroll. The 2019 season also saw the team branded as \”SportPesa Racing Point F 1 Team\”, acknowledging lead sponsor SportPesa, a sports betting company from Kenya.
