Aston Martin makes its iconic return to the highest level of motorsport for the 2021 campaign after a 60-year absence from F1, as four-time world champion, Sebastian Vettel, and prodigious Belgian-Canadian talent, Lance Stroll, spearhead their hopes.

With more than 450 staff behind the two drivers and an extraordinary logistical operation to transport the team around the globe on a packed race calendar, OGIO will provide an invaluable extra boost of support as the new official team luggage supplier.
