Vijay Mallya confirms Aston Martin-Force India talks

Force India owner Vijay Mallya has confirmed that Force India is in talks with Aston Martin over a deal, which could bring the famous marque back into Formula 1 from next season.

Aston Martin have been linked with a return to the sport in the past, including a rumoured link up with Red Bull.

However, Mallya has confirmed a report by Autosport, which claimed that the team could be rebranded as Aston Martin Racing from 2016.

He told reporters: "We are in discussion. Nothing has been finalized, we have many options and I'll be able to confirm or otherwise once I have something to say.

"As I've said, and as was faithfully reported by Autosport, I don't like to count my chickens before they hatch."

Williams were also linked to a possible tie-up before with Aston before they entered talks with Force India.
