Aston Martin Formula 1 te🐻am owner Lawrence Stroll believes his side has what it ཧtakes to become world champions.

The rebranded Racing Point outfit will bring the iconic British car brand name Ast🌌on Martin back to the F1 grid this year, with an announcement on Thursday confirming the team has secured a multi-year deal with American IT consulting company Cognizant to become its new title sponsor.

Under its previous Racing Point gui🌳se, theಌ Silverstone-based squad finished fourth in the 2020 constructors’ championship and claimed its first victory at the Sakhir Grand Prix.

And Stroll wants more podiums and victories to follow in 2021 and beyond as he set the Aston Martin team the target of est♐ablishing itself as a world-championship winning outfit in the coming years.

"My aim with this, like the other businesses I've owned, 𝕴is to win," Stroll told .

"F1 is a process that takes years to be successful; it is not an overnight thing, bu📖t no business is built overnight.

"This will be the🐭 same. I want to continue where we finished last year, only stronger.

"We had several podiums, we had a win. I'd like this year to have several more podiums ⭕and another win or two - step by step fighting for more and more wins.”

Stroll revealed he discussed the prospect of tran🌞sforming Aston Martin into a championship-winning side with team p🌞rincipal Otmar Szafnauer and technical director Andrew Green.

"I said: 'We have the new rules coming in for 2022, we are here to win, it's why I'm her﷽e, it's why we're all here, but I have the abil𒉰ity to give us the resources we need to win," he added.

"What would we do if anything differently in order to become world champions?’ And Andy said: 'My initial answer is 🌱I don't think I would change a whole lot.’"

Stroll pointed to the signing of four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel as underlining the team’s ambition, adding he believes the German will get bac🏅k to his ♏best after a difficult few seasons and help Aston Martin succeed in making the next step.

"Sebastian had a very challenging year last🐈 yeℱar," he said.

"All of us would find it challenging that you lose your jo✱b before the season starts. That's mentally very difficult, and you know how🌄 mental a game F1 is for drivers.

"He had a car he found tricky to drive that didn't suit his driving sty🌞le. We've seen that before in his last year at Red Bull [in 2014].

"But he's a four-time world champion. I don't t⭕hink he forgot how to drive in one year. He has a work ethic that is known🏅 as second to none in the paddock in terms of how hard he works.

"One of the way𝔉s we are going to be world champions is to get my guys to think and act like world champions. And how you ꦛdo that is bring a four-time world champion into the team.

"He is going to take the team in a direction of leading us to where ultimately we wa♋nt to be.

"I am not concerned," Str💮oll added. "I k🐽now Sebastian well, and I have 100% confidence and belief he will do a fantastic job with us. He is more motivated than he has ever been."
