SportPesa new Racing Point F1 Team livery, title sponsor

Dar es Salaam. SportPesa, a giant gaming firm, has been unveiled as the new title sponsor of Racing Point Formula One Team.

Racing Point will race in a largely pink livery that reflects ongoing support from BWT, which started sponsoring the team in 2017. To mark its new title sponsorship with African sports betting company SportPesa, the company’s logo appears with blue and white branding on the front wing, engine cover and rear wing.

The team has also been formally branded SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team. The announcement, together with the revelation of the team’s new car livery, was made during the pre-season launch in Canada earlier this week.

Two team drivers Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll, along with the team’s Principal, Otmar Szafnauer and technical director Andrew Green, attended the launch. “SportPesa is a young, dynamic, growing firm whose values align with our own vision to become a team capable of competing at the very front of the grid,” said Szafnauer, who doubles as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team.

Szafnauer added: “We are excited to have such an ambitious partner on board to help us deliver our team mission and look forward to working with them to bring the sport of Formula One closer to fans around the world. “The car looks stunning with the addition of blue to the already iconic pink livery, which gives us a strong identity as we begin this exciting new era.”
