SILVERSTONE - The Racing Point Formula One team were docked 15 points on Friday after a complaint by rivals Renault, who claimed parts of their 2020 car were copied from Mercedes' title-winning 2019 machine, was upheld.
The outcome resulted in Renault moving up to fifth place in the teams' standing on 32 points and Racing Point dropping to sixth on 27 ahead of this weekend's 70th Anniversary Grand Prix.No penalties were imposed on the team's regular drivers, the Mexican Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll, the son of the team's owner.
The points sanction and the fines were applied in response to Renault's original protest following the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix where the Silverstone-based Racing Point team revealed impressive speed.
