SILVERSTONE, England: Racing Point's Formula One car has been dubbed the 'Pink Mercedes' because it looks like a clone of last year's title-winner but the Silverstone-based team are hitting back at what they see as a misconception.Referring to 'Tracing Point' is an easy jibe that fails to reflect the reality, bosses argue, as stewards consider a series of Renault protests questioning the pink-liveried car's legality.
"For their work to be discounted to say ‘Ah, you’ve copied', or 'plagiarised’ as I heard somebody say, it’s absolutely not true and it has gone too far."Renault have protested Racing Point at the last three races, with their action focusing on the brake ducts which are 'listed parts' this year - meaning teams cannot use another competitor's design.
"In 2019 ... the transfer of information on brake ducts was completely legitimate. And we used that data as a reference, a starting point for our brake ducts, completely legally," he said.Szafnauer, who grew up near Detroit, compared the situation to the state of Michigan raising the drinking age in the 1970s from 18 to 21.
