On their return to F1, Aston Martin have unveiled their new title sponsor: Cognizant. The American digital corporation is product-led and provides digital products and IT services and among other benefits. Early signs indicate that BWT have departed the team as a sponsor.
The team will officially be known as Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team, in their multi-year partnership.
This new title sponsor means we are unlikely to see any pink on the 2021 livery, which was introduced due to BWT being the title sponsor at Racing Point. It looks like we won’t be getting the watermelon-inspired livery we were all hoping for. Sad times. In fact, the BWT logo is completely absent from the list of global partners and team suppliers on the official website.
We're delighted to announce a multi-year title partnership with @Cognizant. 🤝
