Former Benetton and BAR boss David Richards believes Aston Martin could enter Formula One within five years. Richards, who is set to return to F1 next year with Prodrive, is also part of a consortium that has taken over Aston Martin.

He confirmed that a future in the sport for the prestigious marque was being discussed, saying: "In five years Formula One could be realistic for Aston."
He also told the German Auto Motor und Sport magazine that Prodrive would look to provide machinery for another team rather than running their own vehicles.
"One thing is clear, Prodrive will not build its own car. We never intended that," he said.
"If you look at the examples of Honda and Toyota, they have shown just how expensive it is to be successful with their own car. So we will work with an existing team."
