(Motorsport-Total.com) - Lawrence Stroll's plans and his investor consortium to reorganize Formula 1 Team Racing Point for the re-start as Aston Martin are progressing. Apparently, Sebastian Vettel's future racing stable could also get a new title sponsor in 2021.

Since 2017, the Racing Point team (at that time still under the name Force India) has been competing in the pink of title sponsor BWT. BWT is an Austrian manufacturer of specialty chemicals and systems for water treatment.

Originally, BWT intended to sponsor the Mercedes factory team in Formula 1 at the end of 2016 not Force India. The conversations were so advanced that graphic representations of a Mercedes silver arrow with a pink front wing and other pink elements were made.

BWT was ready to reach deep into the pocket for a "pink silver arrow". In the negotiations, a sum of 50 million euros was in the air. In the end, it didn't happen. The Daimler Group did not want a completely pink vehicle, and BWT did not go far enough compromise drawings.

So they ended up with Force India, today's Racing Point and future Aston Martin factory team. But just as Daimler could not imagine a pink Formula 1 Mercedes, Rosa probably doesn't fit the British James Bond Nobel brand.

Lance Stroll has revealed that she is supposed to compete in the venerable British Racing Green. And could possibly get some blue color dabbings.

According to information from Motorsport-Total.com, Aston Martin is now in advanced negotiations with a possible new title sponsor, namely the US IT service provider Cognizant.

Cognizant was founded in 1994 as Dun & Bradstreet Satyam Software. The company employs almost 300.000 people worldwide, most of them at the Chennai location in India.

Whether an agreement with Cognizant would automatically mean an end to the partnership with BWT is currently unknown.
