The team that was Force India will race in this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix but under a new entry, the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) said. "The FIA has accepted the mid-season entry of Racing Point Force India with immediate effect," a statement from the body said. "This means the team will race this weekend at the Belgian GP."

Force India were placed into administration on July 27 following which they were bought by a consortium headed by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll with former co-owner Vijay Mallya losing control. However, there was uncertainty over whether they would race this weekend as the Stroll-led group was only able to acquire the assets of the team but not the entry.
