“The AMR26 marks a step forward for Aston Martin’s competitiveness on the grid.”

Aston Martin has revealed its 2026 Formula 1 car, the AMR26, ahead of the new season. The launch took place in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, where fans, media, and team partners got a first look at the car’s livery and design.

The AMR26 sports Aston Martin’s signature British Racing Green, with black detailing and subtle yellow accents. Engineers tested key components during early shakedown runs in a black camouflage design before the official reveal, giving them valuable data on the car’s performance.

Adrian Newey designed the car, bringing his expertise to Aston Martin. The AMR26 meets the 2026 technical regulations, with updates to the chassis, aerodynamics, and power unit that improve efficiency, downforce, and handling.

Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will drive the car this season. Aston Martin expects the AMR26 to be more competitive and aims to secure consistent points, strong finishes, and podiums.

The team will test the AMR26 in Bahrain before the season opener to refine performance, reliability, and setup. Engineers and drivers will work closely to maximize the car’s potential during these sessions.

“This incident underscores the importance of strict documentation under F1’s cost cap rules.”

Aston Martin has been found in breach of Formula 1’s cost cap regulations for the 2024 season. The FIA described the violation as a “very minor” procedural error and confirmed that the team acted in good faith.

The breach occurred because one of Aston Martin’s financial documents was missing a signature and was submitted after the March 31, 2025 deadline. The team corrected the issue promptly once the signature was obtained. The FIA noted that, aside from this technical issue, Aston Martin complied with all cost cap requirements.

As a result, Aston Martin will not face any financial or sporting penalties. The team has agreed to cover the costs incurred by the FIA in preparing the Accepted Breach Agreement (ABA) to resolve the matter.

The 2024 cost cap was set at $165 million. All other teams, including power unit manufacturers, were found to be in compliance. This minor breach highlights the strict documentation requirements teams must follow under F1’s cost cap rules.
