Aston Martin‘s return to Formula 1 as a constructor for the first time since 1960 has driven a surge of sponsor interest in the Silverstone-based team, according to principal Otmar Szafnauer.
Szafnauer said the arrival of Germany’s four times world champion Sebastian Vettel from Ferrari was less of a factor than the allure and prestige of the British sportscar marque.
“They all want to be part of this journey that we´re on and for sure Aston Martin, the name and what we´re trying to do and what our future plans are, have attracted a lot of sponsors this year,” Szafnauer told Reuters.
