Aston Martin

Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team are a British constructor based in Silverstone, England, running Honda power units and fielding Fernando Alonso (car #14) and Lance Stroll (car #18) in 2026. The team competed under the Force India and Racing Point names before adopting the Aston Martin identity in 2021. Backed by Lawrence Stroll's ownership consortium, they have built an entirely new campus adjacent to the Silverstone circuit, one of the most ambitious infrastructure investments in modern F1.

For 2026, Aston Martin field Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll. Alonso, a two-time World Champion with 32 race victories and over 400 Grand Prix starts, brings unmatched experience and a competitive fire that shows no sign of dimming at age 44. His presence elevates the team's credibility and provides invaluable technical feedback. Stroll contributes strong wet-weather ability, consistency, and the stability of a driver who has been part of this operation for years.

The team's lineage, through Force India and Jordan Grand Prix before that, includes notable achievements such as Giancarlo Fisichella's surprise second-place finish at Spa in 2009 for Force India and consistent midfield competitiveness on modest budgets. Under Aston Martin branding, the team's 2023 season saw a dramatic resurgence, with Alonso delivering multiple podium finishes and briefly challenging for victories in the opening rounds.

The 2026 regulations represent the season Aston Martin have been building toward. Their partnership with Honda for power units brings factory-level engine support, while high-profile engineering recruits from rival teams have strengthened every technical department. The new Silverstone campus features a state-of-the-art wind tunnel, simulator, and manufacturing facilities that rival anything on the grid.

Aston Martin are based in Silverstone, United Kingdom, with their campus directly adjacent to the circuit that hosts the British Grand Prix in July. This proximity makes Silverstone a natural home event for the team. British fans can follow all sessions at UK time, with most European races starting between 14:00 and 15:00 BST during the summer months.
