Racing Point transitioned from Force India during 2018 after a legal tussle and had to effectively lose all their championship points in order to compete in Formula One. Had they not been made to do so, they would have been much higher up in the constructor’s table.

The team has gradually made improvements since their inception and despite a change of leadership, the core group of engineers and drivers will surely keep striving to do better.

Sergio Perez has proved to be an asset for whichever team acquires him as a driver. The Mexican was the only driver to score a podium in 2018 outside of the top six. He also outscored his then teammate, Esteban Ocon, and finish eighth in the points table.

The 20-year-old holds the record for the youngest racer to stand on the podium

Lance Stroll may receive backlash due to his father, Lawrence Stroll, being a key member in the consortium that purchased the assets of Force India, but he has shown glimpses of driving prowess. The 20-year-old holds the record for the youngest racer to stand on the podium and he would have a point to prove next year in a car capable of achieving decent results.
