Lawrence Stroll Refutes Suggestion Poor F1 Performances Affected Aston Martin’s Brand Value

When it was announced that Aston Martin was returning to F1 as a rebranded Racing Point, fans had high expectations. However, things haven’t gone the Silverstone-based team’s way so far this season. However, team owner, Lawrence Stroll, feels that their performance on track won’t affect the reputation of the British brand.

The team currently sit in fifth place in the constructor’s standings with just 19 points. They scored the most points at the recent Monaco GP, as Sebastian Vettel scored 10 points by coming fifth and Stroll scored four points by crossing the line in eighth place.

Results on track won’t have a negative impact on Aston Martin says Stroll

Speaking to Autosport, Stroll said, “I don’t think it took away from the rebranding and that excitement. That’s been phenomenal. We see it through fan engagement.

“But it’s disappointing when you put in all the hard work and cars are frozen from a homologation point of view, and then you get to the first race and realise they weren’t really frozen from a homologation point of view,” the Canadian concluded.

How has the Silverstone team performed so far this season?

The team were optimistic for the 2021 season,  they had finished fourth last year and had Sebastian Vettel joining them next year. Hence it was no surprise morale at Silverstone would be high. However, things haven’t gone quite their way till but hope to bounce back as the season progresses.

They currently sit in 5th place in the standings with just 19 points to their name. However, after an improved performance at Monte Carlo as Vettel finished 5th and Stroll coming in at 8TH, they believe they can bounce and redeem themselves this season.
