I am not sure how to categorize the Aston Martin bid to enter F1. They say they would not be building the engine themselves thus they would not really be a engine manufacturer but a team sponsor sourcing an engine from a third party. Not much different than Tag Heuer and the Renault engine really, but incidentally, a car manufacturers. Hence, l don't think they have as big a shout as Honda for instance. However, it would be nice to see the brand on the grid.
