Report: Aston Martin F1 to Start Its Own Engine Manufacturing Unit Inherent to Lawrence Stroll’s Ambitious 5 Year Plan

Perhaps Lawrence Stroll is a man who really identified with Ariana Grande’s lyric, “I want it, I got it.” Because over the course of the last few years, he took on a lower-mid table team and turned it into one of the fastest developing projects in sports.

When the Canadian billionaire took on the Force India team, it was struggling. Soon, as the team’s name changed to Racing Point, to the present Aston Martin Racing, its fortunes also began to shift, its future looking brighter than ever.

So bright, that it wouldn’t be long before the AMR challenger is powered by its own engine.

According to a report, Stroll’s team could very well be making their own power units by the time the new engine regulations come into play. “In the longer term, that’s definitely something we’re looking into,” Aston Martin’s Chief Technical Officer Andrew Green said.

“New drive regulations will come into force in 2026. There will be talks over the next few years. I’m sure we’ll look at it in great detail to understand whether we could benefit from such a step.” (Translated via Google Translate)

Vettel wants to accelerate the ambitious plans of Lawrence Stroll

As the British team became the third on the list to launch their new car for the 2022 season, four-time world champion  Sebastian Vettel weighed on the ambitious plans of his team owner.

The plans in the subject are Stroll’s vision of Aston Martin rubbing shoulders with the big boys like Mercedes and Red Bull in the near future.

Speaking about this, Vettel said, “I hope to accelerate it a little bit.” But the former Red Bull driver didn’t make any big statements or proclamations. Instead, he chose the ‘we’ll-see-how-it-goes’ approach.

“To point out where we’ll be is impossible at this stage but surely if we’re on the climb, we want to be better than last year.” 

Now, whether or not Aston Martin and Lawrence Stroll succeed in their big targets is something only time will tell.

However, one cannot help but appreciate their ambitions, their drive, their commitment to get where they want to go.
