2019 season Racing Point confirmed in November 2018 that
Lance Stroll and
Sergio Pérez would be the two drivers for the 2019 season. The 2019 season also saw the team branded as "SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team", acknowledging lead sponsor
SportPesa, a
sports betting company based in
Kenya. The team's car for the 2019 season, the
Racing Point RP19, was announced in
Toronto, Canada. The team scored points at each of the first four races of the season, including a double points finish in
Azerbaijan as Pérez and Stroll finished 6th and 9th respectively. Despite this early success, Racing Point went on to struggle during the middle part of the season, with Stroll's 9th place in
Canada being the team's only points finish in the following six races. Their best result of the season came at the
German Grand Prix, where Stroll briefly led the race as a result of tyre strategy in the wet weather before eventually finishing 4th. Racing Point's fortunes improved in the second half of the season after the team brought significant upgrades ahead of the
Belgian Grand Prix. Over the next nine races, Pérez scored points in all but one—retiring from the
Singapore Grand Prix with an oil leak. This points streak brought Racing Point ahead of
Alfa Romeo in the standings, finishing the season in 7th place with 73 points.
2020 season At the
2019 Belgian Grand Prix, it was confirmed that Stroll had been re-signed for 2020 and Pérez had been signed until the end of . Pérez was set to spend at least nine consecutive seasons with the team in total since joining in , albeit across four different names. SportPesa ended their title sponsorship arrangement with Racing Point, with Austrian water technology company
BWT becoming the team's new title sponsor. During pre-season testing Racing Point's car, the
RP20 caused controversy due to its resemblance to the
Mercedes AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+, which won the
2019 Formula One World Championship. Following the a formal protest was launched against the RP20 specifically surrounding the brake ducts which the rules dictate must be designed by the team. Officials have impounded the brake ducts from both the RP20 and the W10 to investigate the protest. Three days before the , Pérez tested positive for
COVID-19. Due to this Pérez was unable to participate in both the British Grand Prix and the .
Nico Hülkenberg served as a substitute driver for both events. Between the
British and
70th Anniversary Grands Prix, Racing Point was fined €400,000 and had 15 constructors points deducted after the protest lodged by Renault F1 Team was upheld. At the
Italian Grand Prix, Stroll finished third and took the team's first ever podium. At the
Eifel Grand Prix, Lance Stroll was unable to participate in qualifying and the race due to having tested positive for
coronavirus. Hülkenberg would serve as his substitute for the next two sessions, finishing 8th after starting 20th. At the
Turkish Grand Prix, Stroll achieved the team's first-ever pole position, with teammate Pérez qualifying third. In the race, Stroll led early into the race but eventually dropped to ninth, while Pérez achieved second place, taking the team's second podium finish. Pérez came close to taking the team's third podium finish in the
Bahrain Grand Prix, but a late engine failure in lap 54 forced him to retire. Earlier in the race, Stroll's car was flipped upside down due to a collision with
Daniil Kvyat, which meant Bahrain was the first race in which both cars did not score a point in the 2020 season. At the
Sakhir Grand Prix, Pérez gave Racing Point their first win as a constructor and as a legal entity while Stroll also finished on the podium with his 3rd-place finish. This was the first time any incarnation of the team had won a race since Jordan won the
2003 Brazilian Grand Prix. It was the fifth Grand Prix victory for any incarnation of the team. After
Lawrence Stroll bought a 16.7% stake in
Aston Martin, the team rebranded to
Aston Martin F1 Team. == Complete Formula One results ==
