By Teagan Crump

Aston Martin are the last team to reveal their livery for 2026 but it is their first car designed by Adrian Newey.

Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman, commented:

“The AMR26 represents a defining step for Aston Martin Aramco as we enter Formula 1’s new era in 2026. These regulations mark the biggest reset the sport has seen in a generation, and we are approaching it with clear ambition: to build a team capable of winning.

“Every move we make is by design – considered, deliberate and built for where we are going. This year also marks our first season as a full works team, supported by world-class partners including Honda, Aramco and Valvoline.

“With the AMR Technology Campus now complete, we have the people, facilities and long-term investment in place to compete with the very best. Today is another important milestone on that journey.”

New Team Principal and Managing Technical Partner, Adrian Newey stated:

“2026 is a rare moment in Formula 1 because, for the first time, the chassis and power unit regulations have changed together.

“With brand new regulations, the best philosophy is never immediately obvious, and your understanding evolves as the car develops. With the AMR26 we’ve taken a holistic approach: it’s not about one standout component, but how the full package works together.

“The focus has been on strong fundamentals, development potential, and a car that Lance and Fernando can hopefully extract performance from consistently.”

Fernando Alonso, two-time world champion stated:

“This is such an exciting new chapter for Aston Martin Aramco as we adapt to the new rules, new power units, and new ideas,” the two-time World Champion said. “With Lawrence and Adrian, we have two of the most determined and competitive people I have ever met leading the team.

“The past few years were not easy, but we’ve learned a lot, and that experience always makes you stronger. Everybody in this team shares the same hunger to be competitive and I have seen how much effort is happening behind the scenes to give us a car we can develop across the season.

“I’m looking forward to getting on track and developing the car as we head to Bahrain this week. I can’t wait to push hard and help make Aston Martin Aramco stronger and more competitive.”

Lance Stroll also commented on the 2026 season:

“The AMR26 is the first car to come out of our completed campus and the first as a works team with Honda, so it's a big moment for the team. Our shakedown went well, which is important with a new car, and it gave us a solid first feel for it.

“The 2026 regulations are a big change and a real challenge for all teams, so now it’s about building our understanding of the car with the goal of continuing to bring performance upgrades throughout the season.

“It’s great to be working with Adrian Newey and so many talented people at Aston Martin Aramco who are really pushing hard to make that happen. Next up is testing in Bahrain where we’ll be gathering as much information as possible ahead of the opening round in Melbourne. It should be an exciting year for the fans.”

Aston Martin's new livery will be making its official debut at the Bahrain pre-season test from February 11th until 13th and February 18th until 20th.
