“I want them to know that we want to bring them right into the heart of this team and our journey. That might sound like a platitude,” he said.

“To achieve that, we’ll need to think outside of the box. And I’m hoping everybody will see us doing just that with a fresh and modern identity for the Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team.”
Racing Point, before they bid adieu to F1 following their brief haul, left behind a bunch of fans for Aston Martin to take over. Hence, with such a strong fanbase, it will be interesting to see how they plan on moving forward.
Overall, apart from beating other F1 teams on the track, Aston Martin will be looking to defeat their rivals on social media as well.
But will they succeed in this attempt and build a fandom? Well, let’s see if the massive investments pay off.
