Force India's life as Racing Point begins with launch of 2019 car

Racing Point has launched its first car since officially changing the name of its team from Force India.

Last year Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll led a consortium to save the Force India team from administration. Stroll's son Lance has joined the team for 2019 from Williams and will partner Sergio Perez, who has been at the Silverstone-based team since 2014.

The team unveiled its 2019 car at a launch event in Canada on Wednesday, following the launches of Mercedes and Red Bull the same day. LIVERY sentence

Racing Point finished seventh in the championship last season, but the team was effectively rebooted after the Stroll purchase and started from zero points at the Belgian Grand Prix.
