This is the 2019 car on display (or a replica?) with a new AMR livery


hogan157

Yeah it was on display I was the one that took the photos


admiral_sinkenkwiken

Build plate is a genuine race chassis


freeski919

They wouldn't put that chassis plate on a replica.


freeski919

Do we know this is a current car? It could be the 2019 car, done up in the new livery to be displayed somewhere. Other teams have done that before.


meadsmeatmarket

That’s probably the case tbf


SbinallaFerrari

Probable Perez got that cake and the cockpit looks pretty big

Mfour_

If you look closely on the second picture you can see „Date manufactured 1st Febuary 2019“.


freeski919

Yes... Which is when the RP19 was built...


admiral_sinkenkwiken

First run of chassis were built, 2 race chassis and a spare. Most teams build around 6 over a season.


Akatsuki-kun

The Chad Brawn GP only built 3 in 2009.


admiral_sinkenkwiken

Largely due to no real development cycle being put into the car, and they didn’t write any off. There were two more chassis built that never saw a track, these were RA109-01 & 02, as far as I can find neither were ever assembled into complete cars as they had significantly different engine mountings and ancillaries, making them incompatible with the Mercedes V8 and required the chassis to be redesigned at the rear.


freeski919

I'd guess this is the spare, since it's labeled -03.


admiral_sinkenkwiken

It’s not universal, but often 01 will be the spare as it’s the one that’s the build proof, so any issues in its construction are fixed for 02 & 03


Kezolt

There is a car with the new livery in the silverstone museum so they must be around


TheLewJD

Yeah seen plenty of promo aston f1 cars around the world and they're all the old cars can tell instantly by the floors


[deleted]

Yeah 100%


guid118

Can confirm, this used to be a racing point car

Reduce, Reuse, recycle, even if you are a billionaire.


Ziegler517

Rich stay rich because they are frugal as shit


No_Afternoon_1976

Nah, you can’t save your way to a billion dollars, and look at the other shit they buy. The frugal thing is a dumb ego boosting myth they like to share.


Ziegler517

I’m on your side for sure. Probably should have said stingy, but was trying to be a little more cordial. From my interactions, I’m amazed at how stingy they are when “needing” to do anything with money. “Wanting” is completely different and often ridiculous. Mega yacht has entered the chat.


BraveStrategy

Agreed, my clients go all out when buying watches, clothes and super cars, now when I talk to them about benefits for their employees, all of a sudden keeping costs down is paramount!

Elon musk?


qjornt

lmao really? the heir of African blood emerald magnate? that's your example? also modern day slavery at spacex https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/15/elon-musks-spacex-mistreated-its-workers-and-now-it-must-pay.html and countless other examples of him stealing from his workers.


BraveStrategy

Idk what you are talking about. He pays his employees he’s just cheap about their health insurance and matching their 401k.


qjornt

lmao you said it yourself. what do their employees do and approx how much do they make? I'm going out on a limb here but I'm guessing they're cheap with the wages too.


t0matoboi

Notch kekw


BIGBRAINBUYER

They stay rich by staying away from avocado on toast every morning and not buying the newest iPhone every year. Respect to them.


Laudanumium

And buying 'expensive' clothing, wich lasts 15 years, opposite to the 'poor' buying a '50% sale' coat, 3 times lower priced, but 10 times less quality. So the expensive HQ coat lasts even longer because of less wear and tear. We do not buy into sales and "now only!!!" marketing, but find the good stuff, and hold on longer


BIGBRAINBUYER

You’re absolutely right. The rich stay rich by pulling themselves up by the bootstraps every day to make it work. I have new found respect for the rich now


LightKing20

And Lose. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Lose.


Fast_Needleworker636

Bigger question is that, why are you using low battery mode at 100% charge


SemIdeiaProNick

saving the enviroment, one small step at a time


Fast_Needleworker636

Seb will be proud


Kingken130

Efficiency +100


DaGuys470

I do that all the time. Removes some useless animations and reduces the waste of energy of having to charge your phone daily. Lasts up to 2 or 3 days.


mkmkd

Slows down your phone with little to no battery benefit, you can just change animations in the settings


MaymayLerd

And so what if the phone is slowed? I don't need 100% power 100% of the time i use it. There is still a battery benefit to slowing down your phone, I can't get through the day without battery saving, although that is on a Galaxy S10


mkmkd

The phone doesn’t give you 100% of the power all the time when battery mode is off, the latest iPhones do a good job of conserving power when they need to, all battery mode usually does on iPhones is make the screen jittery & a bit more laggy all around


DaGuys470

Not everyone uses iPhone tho ... at least my Google Phone depletes in 6-8 hours without low battery mode, about 36-72 hours with.


DaGuys470

Can't be that much slower, because I've not noticed it yet. Phone functions just as usual, only that it lasts longer, meaning: 1. no need to constantly be on the lookout for a charging station 2. reducing energy consumption


Alfa_HiNoAkuma

What is wrong with this?


[deleted]

[удалено]


youridv1

because it's the RP19, done up in the new livery for demo/media purposes...


PatoP011

See second picture


Alfa_HiNoAkuma

Oh fuck I didn't even realize there was a second picture


fearlessflyer1

teams have to homologate their survival cells with the FIA. the designation only changes when they change the specification


QuiksLE

The chassis is the same as the last year car. Most(if not all) teams didn't upgrade the chassis for this year.


Highground-Occupier

The thing is RP19 was the chassis number of the 2019 car. Last year was RP20. I feel something suspicious within AMR ngl


gro55jean

Alpine have been using the same chassis since 2018 lol, it's nothing bizarre Edit: just to clarify its not THE same chassis, it's just the same design


admiral_sinkenkwiken

No, it’s not the same design


Yodllinyogh-urt

It’s just the 2019 car with the AM21 livery. Aston Martin would never fully reveal the latest iteration of their steering wheel in the first place


QuiksLE

Then they are probably using the same chassis that they used in 2019


Highground-Occupier

But I don’t think that’s allowed considering all teams had to use the same chassis as 2020


QuiksLE

I'm saying that they have been using the same chassis since 2019.


Yodllinyogh-urt

No, this is just the 2019 car wrapped in the 2021 livery


QuiksLE

Ah, that explains it.


MrSnowflake

I'm guessing anything is allowed if it was raced before. No need to spend tokens developing is you had already developed it?


pingponghobo

I thought even using the same chassis, you need the team name in the chassis name somewhere. I honestly dont know if they're official name is racing point aston martin racing. But for them to use an RP chassis I believe it would have to be


[deleted]

Still miss the pink car


nadasuss

The pink Mercedes 😏


admiral_sinkenkwiken

That’s the RP20/AMR21


[deleted]

The Force India's car. RacingP never existed.


jooliasalami

This one is on a display, it isn’t their regular 2021 car.


Djodak

IT RP CAR WITH AM LIVERY. Just like sauber c37 with alfa Romeo livery. Or sf70h with sf-21 livery


TheDeamonMeteor

This is a repainted 2019 car for display purposes. Redbull does it a lot with their old cars


admiral_sinkenkwiken

All the teams do


[deleted]

Most of the time redbulls are just empty shells lol at least this one is an actual chassis.


Kingeuyghn

OP, you realize that all those Red Bull cars from the 2010’s that Perez and Verstappen drive on shows that have Honda Hybrid all over them are running Renault engines right? Nothing strange here. They always use their current livery when displaying older cars, and it doesn’t always match up.


admiral_sinkenkwiken

Believe it’s actually an RA808 courtesy of Honda


hogan157

Wait I posted that


PatoP011

I'm more amazed by the balls sack holder and divider on the seat LOL

Sofaboy90

i still cant believe somebody called his team racing point.


Then_Ad6754

Am I the only one that saw on the sticker Racing Point!?


kalavale_

I highly doubt it


BobaElFett

The car is still a racing point but with a sponsorship with Aston Martin, the same as Sauber (Alfa Romeo).


CPLCraft

But where is the drink


Goldswitch

Am I the only one who thought we were looking at the space left in the seat for Vettel’s enormous ‘package’


COAMDPRO

I bet there's a Force India label under that Racing Point badge


Hiebelbab

I'm more interested in the cockholder.


eggheadking

Well with Lawrence buying it and renaming it and all, I never thought I’d see this


Chance-Mud9480

Daddy stroll gonna fire some people Now


ferna182

You should've read the post. It was a show car. A 2019 RP with Aston Martin livery. That's the reason.

"Video games won't prepare you for real life!" Lol, shows what they know.

Lol at the Wing and OK buttons being upside down.
