Aston Martin are one of the most ambitious projects in modern Formula 1, backed by the substantial investment of Lawrence Stroll’s ownership group. The team has undergone a transformation from the former Racing Point and Force India operations into a fully-fledged works constructor with a brand-new campus in Silverstone.
The 2026 season is the one Aston Martin have been building toward. Their new factory, wind tunnel, and technical infrastructure were designed with these regulations in mind. The arrival of Honda power units marks a significant partnership, bringing factory-level engine support that was previously reserved for Red Bull. Combined with high-profile engineering recruits from rival teams, Aston Martin have assembled the pieces for a serious championship challenge.
Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll continue as the driver pairing. Alonso, at 44, brings unmatched experience and a competitive fire that shows no sign of dimming. His presence alone elevates the team’s credibility and provides invaluable technical direction. Stroll contributes strong wet-weather ability and benefits from the stability of a team he has been part of for years.
The new Silverstone campus is a state-of-the-art facility that rivals anything on the grid. The investment in people, technology, and infrastructure positions Aston Martin as a team built for sustained competitiveness rather than short-term results.
British fans have Aston Martin’s base adjacent to the Silverstone circuit, making the British Grand Prix in July a natural home event. The team’s British identity, combined with the glamour of the Aston Martin brand, draws significant support at every European round.
