According to the team’s official release, ‘the AMR26 is a clear statement of intent, the result of a series of decisions made by design to create a path to competing at the very highest level and, ultimately, to win.’

Notably, the car is the first Adrian Newey-designed machine, built in the completed AMR Technology Campus at Silverstone as the season marks Aston Martin Aramco’s first as a full works team.

“2026 is a rare moment in Formula One because, for the first time, the chassis and power unit regulations have changed together,” commented Managing Technical Partner and Team Principal Newey.

“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.”

For lead driver Alonso, the new season is one full of hope and expectancy as he looks to add a historic third F1 drivers’ title to his glittering resume.

“This is such an exciting new chapter for Aston Martin Aramco as we adapt to the new rules, new power units, and new ideas,” added Alonso.

“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.”

Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman, added: “The AMR26 represents a defining step for Aston Martin Aramco as we enter Formula One’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.

“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.”
