The Racing Point Forumula One team, now rebranded as the Aston Martin Formula One team, has revealed their 2021 F1 challenger, the AMR21, in a virtual event.
Team owner Lawrence Stroll said, I have dreamed about this day for a very long time. I have always been a car guy, since I was a child. I have always loved racing, too. My first dream was to own a Formula One team. My second dream was to acquire a significant shareholding in Aston Martin Lagonda. Today is about the merging of those two dreams. So, as I say, today is all about dreams, and it shows that dreams really can come true, in the shape of our new AMR21.
For the first time in more than 60 years, Aston Martin returns to Formula One later this month at the Bahrain Grand Prix, with the debut of its AMR21.
The new AMR21 is powered by a Mercedes-AMG F1 M12 E Performance engine with hybrid energy recovery and will be raced by the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team, which is based at Silverstone in the UK and sponsored by American technology company Cognizant.
“I’ve dreamed about this day for a very long time. I’ve always been a car guy and I’ve always loved racing, too, said Lawrence Stoll, executive chairman of Aston Martin Lagonda, in a statement. Aston Martin returning to Formula One after an absence of 61 years will have a powerful effect on the sport, the media and the fans, commanding global attention.
