James Bond said he was thrilled and seven-times Super Bowl champion Tom Brady threw in support from afar as Aston Martin showed off their first Formula One car in 61 years on Wednesday.

The launch, presented online by “Quantum of Solace” actress Gemma Arterton, played up the 108-year-old marque’s connection to the fictional British secret agent as the Silverstone-based team started a new era.
