The one-off livery marks a significant milestone in a relationship that began in 2021, when Cognizant joined Aston Martin as the marque returned to the Formula One grid.
Five years on, the partnership has evolved alongside the team and continues to bring together two organisations united by an ambition to build, innovate, challenge convention and perform at the highest level.
The special livery will provide a striking celebration of that journey at the Circuit of the Americas, recognising Cognizant's role as one of the team's longest-standing partners and its support throughout a transformative period for Aston Martin Aramco.
The anniversary comes during an important new chapter in the relationship. Earlier this year Cognizant became Aston Martin Aramco's Global AI Services Partner, reflecting a shared focus on the potential of AI to drive innovation and create meaningful impact. Cognizant has now entered the next chapter of its own transformation, becoming an AI builder that helps businesses rise above complexity, reduce risk and accelerate value from AI.
The United States Grand Prix provides a fitting stage for the celebration, bringing the special livery to one of Formula One's most vibrant race weekends and an important market for Cognizant. From Aston Martin's return to the Formula One grid in 2021 to the partnership's latest chapter in 2026, Cognizant has remained part of the Team's journey. The special livery celebrates five years together – and the ambition to keep moving forward.
Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team, said: “Cognizant has been part of our journey since Aston Martin returned to Formula One in 2021, and we're incredibly proud to celebrate five years of partnership together. A great partnership is one that continues to evolve. Over the past five years, both our organisations have changed considerably, but our shared ambition and desire to keep pushing forward have remained constant.
“The special livery in Austin is our way of celebrating that journey. It's a visible thank you to Cognizant and its people for five years of partnership, while looking ahead to an exciting next chapter together.”
Ravi Kumar S, CEO, Cognizant, said: “Five years ago, Cognizant joined Aston Martin Aramco with a shared belief that innovation is built through collaboration. Since then, both of our organisations have evolved, embracing new technologies and new ways of working while remaining focused on performance, progress and continuous improvement. As Cognizant enters its next chapter as an AI Builder and our role expands as the team's Global AI Services Partner, we look forward to helping unlock new possibilities across the organisation. This livery celebrates not only five years of partnership, but a shared commitment to building what's next.”
