Aston Martin’s maiden F1 stint

The technical and commercial partnership between Aston Martin and Red Bull has brought the iconic British make to Formula One for the first time… in 56 years! Indeed, Aston Martin had a brief and somewhat disappointing spell in the sport in 1959-60, fielding a DBR4/5 chassis that was largely based on the Le Mans-winning DB3S with Roy Salvadori et Carroll Shelby at the wheel.
