Force India has confirmed reports that a touted deal with the British luxury carmaker Aston Martin has fallen through for now. Talks with the Silverstone based team about a naming sponsorship deal obviously took place, but Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer said just before Christmas: "We do not have the means to invest in F1."
Force India is now confirming that news, although chief operating officer Otmar Szafnauer is not ruling out a future deal with Aston Martin. "It probably won't happen for 2016," he said, "but we're still talking."
"It's flattering for a company like Aston Martin to be talking to Force India - to want to partner with us and come into formula one - but the story isn't final there yet. So for 2016 I don't think that will happen, but for the future there are still possibilities," Szafnauer added. (GMM)

Too bad, I'd love to see Aston Martin enter. But then again, with few to no recorded profits, it'd make zero sense for AM to enter such a money-intense sport as F1.
