This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
I guess stef23 talks about the commercial brand name („Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team“), which they are using in F1 and not the official company name (AMR GP Limited). Ferrari changed their brand name midseason, when HP joined, but the official legal company namen is still Ferrari S.p.A.
I said that cause he said "since not being directly associated or owned by the Aston Martin brand." Meaning, they are entangled.
It is quite easy. Aston Martin Lagonda (car company) pays money that AMR GP Limited (f1 Team company) drives with the Aston Martin Brand. The sponsorship was extended for 5 years in 2023 btw. They are independent from each other. Like Alfa Romeo did at Sauber.
Aramco pays money too, that they are in the team Name. Aramco furthermore secured an Option for 10% of the f1 company shares when they started the sponsorship.
Honda also has an agreement with the team from 2026 onwoards, as we all know, and will highly likely also be in the teams Name as Part of the Deal.
