Racing while proving a few forceful points

Racing Point Force India team boss Otmar Szafnauer says it was business as usual at Spa for the reborn outfit, but if anything the pink squad appeared strengthened by events of late.

An impressive performance in qualifying was followed by an equally flawless and solid run into the points on Sunday for F1's new entrant.

The sight of Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez, in formation, chasing Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton up the Kemmel straight after the start, and nearly outrunning the pair, offered the perfect representation of everything the team stands for: speed, force and valor.
