Revving Up: Aston Martin in Fast Facts

The Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team is headquartered in Silverstone, UK, and uses Mercedes power units in their cars. The current Aston Martin F1 Team entered the sport in 2021, carrying the legacy of the Racing Point team acquired by Lawrence Stroll.

Here's a quick rundown:

Brief history: Aston Martin has a long, but interrupted, history in Formula 1. Their first attempt was way back in 1959-1960, but they didn't score any points and left the sport. The current iteration joined the grid in 2021, building on the foundation of the Racing Point team (owned by Lawrence Stroll). So, while it carries the Aston Martin name, it technically has a more recent racing history under different names.

Drivers: For the 2023 season, the driver lineup consists of the experienced Fernando Alonso (replacing Sebastian Vettel who retired) and Lance Stroll (son of team owner Lawrence Stroll). For the 2024 season, the driver lineup stays same.

Performance: They are ambitious and have stated a goal of becoming a top contender in F1. However, the 2022 season proved to be a bit low-key, with a P7 finish in the constructors' standings.
