Aston Martin F1 Team

The Aston Martin F1 Team, known from 2019 to 2020 as Racing Point, is a British Formula 1 team based in Silverstone. From 2022 it is registered in the Formula 1 World Championship under the name of Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team, based on the sponsorship agreement with the US company Cognizant started in 2021, and the one with the Saudi company Aramco, co-title sponsor since 2022.

The team was founded by a consortium led by Canadian investor Lawrence Stroll, following the purchase of Force India.

On July 28, 2022, Sebastian Vettel announced on his Instagram profile his retirement from Formula 1 at the end of the season. 

On 1 August, the British team announced Fernando Alonso from Alpine as their replacement from the 2023 season. The other Lance Stroll driver confirmed. From the first winter tests, the new car proved to be very competitive. The first important result comes already in the Bahrain Grand Prix, with Alonso who at the first outing with the new team wins the third place, while Stroll finishes sixth, despite the aftermath of a bicycle injury suffered a few weeks before. In the following races, Aston Martin is confirmed as the main chaser of the impregnable Red Bull, winning 4 podiums in the first 5 races, all by Alonso.
