One of the most eagerly anticipated new cars of 2021 has been revealed, with Aston Martin unveiling their first Formula 1 challenger in more than 60 years. Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond in the movie franchise, said he was thrilled, and seven-times Super Bowl champion Tom Brady threw in support from afar as Aston Martin showed off its first Formula One
car
in 61 years.
The launch, presented online by "Quantum of Solace" actress Gemma Arterton, played up the 108-year-old marque's connection to the fictional British secret agent as the Silverstone-based team started a new era.
The team formerly known as Racing Point has been rebranded over the winter after owner Lawrence Stroll took control of the Aston Martin road car business, and decided to marry the two entities on track in motorsport's top tier, more than six decades after the manufacturer last raced in F1.
The team revealed their new British racing green car, named the AMR21, and their all-new brand identity for 2021. The team also has a new driver line-up for this season, with Lance Stroll being joined by four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel, following his switch from Ferrari. Vettel and Stroll will both be behind the wheel when the new car hits the track for a shakedown run at Silverstone on Thursday.
The signing of Vettel is a move Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer believes could be transformative for the Silverstone-based outfit, which began life as Jordan back in 1991. “It’s hugely exciting for everyone in the team,” he said. “In Sebastian, we have a proven four-time world champion with experience of helping teams become race-winning and championship-contending outfits. That’s why he is such an important signing for us. He brings a winning mentality and we will all undoubtedly learn a lot from him on this journey."
