Aston Martin announce launch date for 2026 car

Aston Martin have become the latest team to reveal their launch date ahead of the 2026 season.

Days before the 2025 finale in Abu Dhabi, the Silverstone-based outfit have confirmed that they will unveil next year’s car – the AMR26 – on February 9.

While further details about the nature of the launch have not yet been revealed, Aston Martin teased the news on social media by sharing an image of the car’s name seemingly being drawn with a pencil.

The reveal comes after it was announced that Adrian Newey will become Team Principal of the squad in 2026, having previously joined as Managing Technical Partner back in March following his exit from Red Bull.

For a fourth consecutive season, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will again form the team’s driver line-up as the sport enters into a new era amid the introduction of the latest phase of technical regulations.

It comes after the Red Bull stable became the first to confirm their 2026 launch date last month, with Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls set to hold a joint event alongside Ford on January 15.
