SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team in the pink as BWT continues their partnership with the team
Toronto, 13 Feb 2019: Racing Point is delighted to announce that Best Water Technology (BWT) will extend its successful association with the team as principal sponsor. BWT will continue to give the cars their distinctive pink livery colour, which was first introduced in 2017.
Branding of the Austrian water specialist will be displayed prominently on the livery of Racing Point’s 2019 car, on the drivers’ suits and helmets, the team logo and on all other team assets.
The pink colour of BWT is meanwhile one of the most distinctive elements on the Formula One grid. The “Pink Panthers” are widely recognized fan favourites, helping to create an unmistakable identity for the team. Having one of the most recognisable liveries on the grid also contributes to highlighting BWT’s presence and commitment to the reduction of plastic use through the adoption of reusable vessels and recyclable filters to reduce waste and pollution in the modern world.
Otmar Szafnauer, Team Principal and CEO of Racing Point: “Over the last two years, we have created a unique partnership with BWT, on and off the track, and it’s a true pleasure to announce this next step of our journey together. BWT’s superior water technology and iconic pink colour has made our cars immediately recognisable and a fan-favourite. We have enjoyed a lot of success together over the last few years and we’re convinced the best is yet to come.”
Andreas Weißenbacher, CEO of BWT: “Now that we have established a valuable relationship with the team members in recent years, we’re all the more enthusiastic about continuing our partnership in Formula One in 2019. We are eagerly looking forward to plenty of sporting highlights over the new season and wish to build on the successes of the last two years. With the team alongside us, BWT will be working hard to see water both treated and consumed locally ̶ no disposable bottles, no plastic waste and no long transport routes.”
