Racing Point will reveal their new 2020 car Feb 17th at their BWT sponsor's HQ in Mondsee, Austria.

Scuderia Alpha Tauri Honda will as advised earlier in the thread unveil their new car and livery on 14 February 2020. What is perhaps odd is the chassis # will still carry the STR prefix, this one will be STR15.
