Austrian water treatment company BWT’s branding will continue to feature on Aston Martin’s Formula 1 cars in 2021 following🌜 its rebrand.

BWT was the title sponsor of Racing Point last year, with the iconic pink colour of the company heavily adorn♛ing the Silverstone-based outfit’s cars livery since 2017.

It had been expected that t🉐he partnership would end once Racing Point completed its rebrand to Aston Martin, leading to speculation that linked BWT to rival teams including Willi❀ams and Haas.
