Racing Point RP20

These are the same upgrades Mercedes introduced towards the end of last season!

Is that right? Can you confirm that?

I am assuming you must be blind.
For the record, I am not against what RP is doing just funny to watch.

Very intelligent engineering! . Saving a shed load of man-hours and computation time by doing this. Saving money too! Smart!

That s not engineering at all. But very efficient business managing tough. A car made by the Sales department

It has been confirmed by Otmar the aero parts were reverse engineered not bought. So sales has nothing to do with it.

Not quite, the bottom strakes at the front of the bargeboard are different, as are the boomerang wings and the front wing upper flap

I was wondering if the Melbourne updates were Mercedes's updates they didnt introduce into the last year car. But its actually last years final updates. I wonder if the next round of updates includes the updates Merc didnt get to introduce which are on the W11 which would effectively make the RP20 a W10.5. Like a lot of us here believe/hope for.

Not sure about the blindness thing.. anyway..
Its one thing to copy a car (with help) but them to put tye same updates on as the team you copied... thats why i was asking- are these updates the exact same as merc’s updates on the w10?! Or w11?
Or is it RP’s own work now?? (At last)

Apparently RP have also covered their rear brake duct just like Mercedes did

The air to air intercooler must be the biggest difference to last years Mercedes. I don't remember ever seeing pictures of the water cooler on the Merc, only the Ferrari one.

[FrukostScones]

did they have failure during testing? I remember none?
if so, could this be because of their different intercooler setup?

lol that's the full edit seen the W10 label now late Pink W10!

No wonder RP wanted to try it in Oz. What a pity we didn't get to see what it could do, yet at least, and the outrage and indignation

[PlatinumZealot]

They are even copying the upgrades! My my.
