The last Aston Martin car to grace the sport was the DBR5. It was prepared for the 1960 F1 season but wasn’t ready in time. It’s only appearance was at the British Grand Prix. But after failing to notch a single point in that race, the team decided to shut shop and focus on their sports car endeavors instead.

In two years, Aston martin failed to score a single point. This time around, they’d be hoping for much, much better results. And there is every indication that the team will do just that. However, whether they can win races and compete for the championship is a whole different point.

Nevertheless, they are on the right track. It’s only onwards and upwards from here as they try to establish themselves as an F1 powerhouse.
