“I think we will continue with the same transfer model,” says technical director Andrew Inexperienced and explains: “For a small crew like usa it makes sense. It is not the complete Haas model, rather a 'Haas Type 2' model, and that suits us.” While Haas buys many parts from Ferrari, Racing Point emphasizes that the 2020 he car I built a large part of it myself.

“If we can take some mechanical parts [von Mercedes] and develop the aerodynamic components around them, that is our strength,” said Inexperienced, who already has repeatedly assured that the parts in question, such as the nose of the RP 20, not bought from Mercedes but simply (well) reproduced on the basis of photos and Co.

He emphasizes that besides the engine you don't get as much from Mercedes referring. “We get the rear of the car and the Mercedes gearbox. We then try to pack it as narrowly as possible. Under these regulations, it's all part of normal development,” he explains, recalling: “We don't have huge factories I think this model works for usa. “

And that's why it should also 2021 continue if the regulations change a bit in this regard. The parts on the car are then divided into five different categories. Some of them are transferable between individual groups, others are not. Inexperienced assures that they will adhere to it and that there is no further illegal information exchange between Racing Point and Mercedes.

“The supply of parts is one-sided – and the financial compensation too,” says Inexperienced. In other words: Racing Point only buys some parts from Mercedes, there is no other collaboration. Not everyone believes that in the paddock, but so far there is no evidence that it is different. At Racing Point you want to continue 2021 therefore – then only under the name Aston Martin.
