Aston Martin reveals 2026 F1 livery

Aston Martin has revealed its 2026 livery for the AMR26, with Fernando Alonso saying the team aims to improve quickly through the coming season.

The AMR26 ran for the first time on the final two days of the Barcelona shakedown following delays in completing it in time for the start of the week, and on that occasion took to the track in an all-black livery. The 2026 design was launched in Saudi Arabia alongside Aston Martin’s title partner Aramco, and retains the familiar green color scheme seen in recent seasons. 

2026 marks Aston Martin’s first year as a works team as it begins its partnership with Honda, following 17 years as a Mercedes customer. The new regulations provide a reset for the grid, and with Adrian Newey leading car design as well as acting as team principal, Alonso said the focus is on being able to make progress through the first season of the fresh ruleset.

“This is such an exciting new chapter for Aston Martin Aramco as we adapt to the new rules, new power units, and new ideas,” Alonso said. “With Lawrence [Stroll] 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.”

Like Alonso, executive chairman Stroll stopped short of suggesting Aston Martin could be in position to be competitive at the front of the field at the start of the coming season, but said the team has been focused on putting the foundations for success in place.

“The AMR26 represents a defining step for Aston Martin Aramco as we enter Formula 1's new era in 2026,” Stroll said. “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.”
