Aston Martin (formerly Racing Point) announces the American IT company Cognizant as a new title sponsor. The entire team in 2021 will be known as the 'Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team'. 

Next season, Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll, together with team boss Otmar Szafnauer, will try to ensure that Aston Martin's return to the pinnacle of motorsport is a success.

"The return of Aston Martin to Formula 1 after more than 60 years away is a landmark moment in the history of the sport," said Lawrence Stroll. "Everyone knows what Aston Martin stands for, but the Formula 1 team will allow us to take the essence of the brand to new places, building on the strong foundations laid by the previous iterations of the team.”

The Canadian billionaire goes on to say: "I’m hugely proud that we can start this new chapter with the support of Cognizant. In today’s world, as the digital revolution continues, I can’t think of a more suitable or valuable partner to work with us as we strive to make Aston Martin one of the greatest teams in the sport.”
