Racing Point admits "it's been a difficult start" despite early points

Racing Point have had a relatively disappointing season so far and are looking to progress and improve over the next few races. Although they have finished in the points in every race, the team would have hoped to be higher up the rankings. The change in ownership shook the team and it seems that they are just starting to settle now. 

"It's been a difficult start," said Racing Point technical boss, Andrew Green to PitPass. "I think the competition is incredibly tight in the midfield this year - tighter than I've known it for a long time.

"I think we're just slightly behind," he continues. "We're not a long way behind, but I think our weaknesses were probably exposed in the first couple of races.

"We've got a plan to obviously bring us back to our target level of performance, it's going to take some time, but I think we have to remember that the car was originally conceived in the mid-to-late part of last year when the team was in serious trouble.

"We were really struggling at that point. We had to make quite a few decisions about the car and the architecture of the car back then, not really knowing what was going to happen with the team, whether there was even going to be a team."

In an ever competitive midfield Racing Point will need to progress and then progress even more if they are to keep up with the teams that ae ahead of them. They have two good drivers and there is no reason why they won't be competitive over the next few races.
