Aston Martin is becoming increasingly serious about a future as a Formula One engine manufacturer after 2020.
The British brand has not raced in Formula One with its own cars since 1960 but has struck a deal to become Red Bull's title sponsor next year. Aston Martin's ties with the former F1 champions have also been strengthened by a joint hypercar project -- due to reach fruition in 2019 -- and it is now considering further involvement in the sport as an engine manufacturer.
