Racing Point are entering into a new era and have announced SportPesa as their major sponsor.
The team will be known as SportPesa Racing Point F1 for the 2019 season and has dished out a new livery for the 2019 season.
The livery does retain the old pink colour, but has a new darker shade of blue to it as well.
Fans are excited about the fact that the pink has been retained but are a little torn about the new blue colour.
While a few fans feel that the pink and blue blend together brilliantly, others feel that Racing Point have messed the livery up a little.
Look at this beauty – our SportPesa Racing Point car!

Mercedes came to Racing Point’s rescue, letting them know that the pink was right on point. However, they stayed away from commenting on the blue that not everyone has agreed with.
Pink on point. 👌 #mbFamily

Racing Point have a new team, a new management and new driver on board for this season. With new sponsors coming board as well, they would be hoping that they can put some very strong performances on track and at least secure that very prestigious 4th spot in the constructor’s championship.
