Whoever mentioned Aston Martin, they were already in Formula 1. They ran in 1959 with the DBR4 which had its best finish of 2nd at Silverstone and broke a lap record in the same race. In 1960 they ran the DBR5 but only ran it in two races before they decided to cancel the Formula 1 attempt.

The cars were both front-engined and destined to failure from the start when the rear-engine cars hit the scene.
