Aston Martin is going through a period of transition as it gears up for a major technical regulation change in 2026.
Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell has discussed the team’s future in light of the upcoming changes in Formula 1 scheduled for 2026, emphasizing that their focus extends beyond the next year.
The 2026 season will bring significant modifications to the technical regulations, with all teams adapting to a new set of rules for car construction.

Next season, Aston Martin will switch to Honda power units, moving away from their longstanding partnership with Mercedes.
In an exclusive interview with RacingNews365, Cowell outlined his strategic approach to leading the team towards heightened competitiveness, focusing on continuous learning, team alignment, and performance enhancement to outpace their rivals.
