"Formula 1 is an extremely powerful platform that will play a key role in Aston Martin's strategy and the company's evolutionary path. "It is a truly global sport with a huge audience that we believe can help further shine the brand and further increase its desirability around the world. "This is a brand that has already had tremendous success in top-tier international motorsports like the 24 Hours of Le Mans – and now we have the opportunity to write a new page in the history books. "It is an extremely exciting prospect for anyone who is a lover of the Aston Martin brand, for fans of Formula 1 and the sport itself."
