Racing Point became the first team on Wednesday to roll out its 2020 contender since pre-season testing, the pink outfit warming up its RP20 and crews at Silverstone in preparation for the season-opening Austrian GP.
The team was allowed to run its current-spec car in the context of a filming day, with Stroll driving the allocated 100 km Silverstone's shorter national circuit.
The Canadian took to the track early in the day to sidestep poor weather that hit the area in the afternoon.
Mercedes and Renault also geared up for the season, albeit with 2018 machines. The German outfit tested last week at Silverstone while the French team concluded on Wednesday a two-day test at the Red Bull Ring with Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon.
Ferrari is also expected to roll out a 2018 car at Fiorano before it heads to Austria while Scuderia AlphaTauri will undertake an authorized filming day at Imola.
