F1’s Racing Point Reveals Plans For New Team Factory
Image
Racing Point, Formula 1’s Silverstone-based team that was “saved from extinction and rebranded last summer following a cash injection from billionaire Lawrence Stroll,” has announced a brand new factory also based in Silverstone, England.
The team has not been upgraded to a new building since 1991, housing team members from Midland, Spyker and then Force India.
“It definitely shows good potential and is a solid move,” said Racing Point's Sergio Perez of the new factory, which will remain close to the famous Northamptonshire circuit. “The team is in the best position it has ever been. These things take time but [the plan for the new factory] is really encouraging. It’s nice to see that the future is looking bright for the team.”
The team plans to increase their staff from around 400 to approximately 600.
