F1's class of 2020 completed as Racing Point unveil new pink car; Perez and Stroll aiming to bring team back to top of midfield

See the covers taken off Racing Point's 2020 challenger - and hear Sergio Perez explain why he's more confident than ever in the team's prospects.

Racing Point have completed Formula 1's class of 2020 by becoming the 10th and final team to launch their car for the new season.

In what will prove the second and final season under the Racing Point name, before the Silverstone outfit is rebranded as Aston Martin for 2021, Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll will spearhead their attempt to improve on seventh place in last year's Constructors' Championship.

The outfit's latest unique pink-liveried contender, the RP20, was unveiled in Mondsee, Austria, with BWT becoming their new title partner.

"We want to be at the top of the midfield and closer to the top three than ever before," said team principal Otmar Szafnauer.

Perez, still widely considered as one of F1's most consistent drivers, will start his seventh season with the team in 2020 and will once again be partnered by Stroll, the son of the team's owner, Lawrence.

"The team has never been in such a good position for the start of a season," Perez told Sky Sports.
