    If they come back it would be thanks to some help from Toyota i thought? They could provide a base engine for wrc or something

    I mean... I wouldnt mind having a Subaru shaped/stickered car racing with a Toyota engine.
    Tbh I'd love to see stuff like in MotoGP, where, idk, PetterSolber or ProDrive could just run this year's cars next season, like they do with the old Ducattis. And even the F1 people dont seem to care that ASTON MARTIN and ALFA ROMEO are not actuaaaaally ASTON MARTIN and ALFA ROMEO, u'know? Just a couple of '''french''' built cars using mercedes or ferrari engines or whatever ....

    Aston Martin is Aston Martin, with Alfa you are right. It's just a sponsor for Sauber.

    Aston Martin is Merc's engines and brand name/sponsor for the team. Wtf.
    AM is also just a sponsor/badge for the team.
    What about Tag Heuer Red Bull.. actually were Renault engines, just branded differently

    Engine isn't the car. Aston Martin F1 is owned by the same people as AM roadcar business. It's like Ferrari. Mercedes on the other hand is only owned one third by Mercedes, but one wouldn't call it Wolff Ineos Mercedes Illmor racing right?
