The legality Racing Point's car is already being investigated by a protest by Renault. According to Helmut Marko, however, it doesn't stay within one team.
The Red Bull Racing adviser told F1-Insider that the protest will be expanded. "According to the information we have, more teams will be protesting against Racing Point. We hope that it will be clarified eventually." Interestingly enough, the Austrian does not say that Red Bull Racing will also file a protest against the midfield team.
It will be an important statement for Red Bull, because of its sister team. "If the racing car of Racing Point is legal, we will just do the same with the car of AlphaTauri," says Helmut Marko.

Update | Marko looks back at the 2008 situation with Vettel

Helmut Marko thinks that Formula 1 should be careful not to return to the situation of 2008. Then Sebastian Vettel managed to win at Monza with a Toro Rosso because the car was almost completely the same as that of Red Bull at the time. After this, this was banned by the FIA.
However, in 2020 the phenomenon seems to be happening again, but with Mercedes and Racing Point. "If Racing Point is cleared, it will save our second team a lot of money and make them more competitive," said Marko, warning the competition that Red Bull will team up with AlphaTauri in the same way
