Aston Martin has been bought by Prodrive, a British company, for £479m

Prodrive, who run the Aston GT racing team, the Subaru WRC team, and have been involved in Ferrari GT racing amongst other things are bringing Aston back to the British Isles.

Surely a very good thing for the British motor industry after the TVR fiasco.

I wonder if David Richards' involvement will keep him too busy to persue Prodrive's F1 program?

[tsarcasm]

He's already got the go ahead from Bernie to be #13, will this bring Aston F1 ?

I doubt it very much Aston will be in F1 as Prodrive are already planning to enter themselves, so why would they basically enter two teams? It wouldnt make sense on many levels.
