Lance Stroll and Sergio Pérez display their ambitions

After having constantly progressed during the Vijay Mallya era, twice reaching fourth place in the Constructors' championship, the former Force India team, now Racing Point F1, intends to regain this rank as quickly as possible.

With the financial support of its new owners, led by Lawrence Stroll, Racing Point F1 was able to develop calmly its RP19 single-seater, all already anticipating the next improvements to come, a sign of constant evolution expected during the 2019 campaign.

Enough to give certain ambitions to the two pilots Lance Stroll and Sergio Pérez. “We have stability and strong leadership internally, which is important because it means I can just focus on driving and performing, underlines the Mexican.

I want us to be the best of the rest of the field again (understand aiming for the top 4). I believe in this team and I think we can achieve great things together. »

“I always aim very high, so I want us to be competitive from the start, for his part proclaims Lance Stroll. It's much too early to know where we will be compared to the other teams, but today I think we should be fighting for points in every race.

My goal is to return to the podium in 2019 (3rd in Azerbaijan in 2017 with Williams). I have seen what this team has achieved in the past and it is a credit to the people involved. I can’t wait to write our own story. »

The RP19 is expected on track next Monday for the start of winter testing in Barcelona, ​​Catalonia.
