Racing Point is confident an appeal process would clear its name in the copying controversy that has seen the team docked 15 points and fined $470,000.
After rivals Renault launched a protest against the Racing Point car earlier this year, the design process of the RP20's rear brake ducts was found to be in breach of Formula One's sporting regulations. That judgement was handed down on Friday, sparking further controversy in the paddock as Racing Point lodged its intention to appeal and overturn the decision while four of its rivals lodged their intention to appeal to see the penalty made harsher.
