40

You can always count on the internet to steal someone's thunder.

This picture of what is alleged to be Racing Point's 2020 contender popped up on social media late yesterday. And from what we can tell it looks legit.

The Silverstone-based outfit is scheduled to reveal its new RP20 car tomorrow at the headquarters of principal sponsor BWT in Mondsee, Austria.

The Austrian water technology company, to which Racing Point has owed its pink identity in the past few seasons, appears to have gained some extra real estate on this year's car, thanks mainly to the departure of SportPesa.

More on this tomorrow obviousy…

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
