Aston Martin

Aston Martin’s original Formula 1 appearance more than half a century ago lasted just five races, but this modern return is a far more serious undertaking. The team is no stranger to success, having taken victories under the Jordan name and more recently as Racing Point in 2020. Long known for punching above their weight, and now led on track by a two-time world champion, Aston Martin have firmly established themselves as a team to watch.

2025
With newly arrived Adrian Newey focused primarily on the 2026 regulations, the team slips to P7 overall in a tightly contested midfield. Fernando Alonso’s fifth place in Hungary is their best result of the season. Newey is confirmed to become Team Principal for the 2026 campaign.

2024
A disappointing year brings no podiums and another fifth-place finish in the constructors’ standings. Technical Director Dan Fallows departs mid-season. Alonso scores the majority of the team’s points, 70 to Lance Stroll’s 24, with a fifth place in Saudi Arabia the best finish. Adrian Newey is signed for 2025.

2023
A sensational start to the season sees Fernando Alonso score six podiums in the opening eight races. Performance tails off as the year progresses, with the team ultimately finishing fifth in the constructors’ championship.

2022
A low-profile season ends with Aston Martin retaining seventh in the standings. Sixth place is the best race result, achieved by Sebastian Vettel in Azerbaijan and Japan, and by Lance Stroll in Singapore. Vettel announces his retirement, and Fernando Alonso is signed to replace him for 2023.

2021
The team struggles to keep up with midfield rivals and drops to seventh overall, scoring less than half the points of the previous season. Highlights include Vettel’s podium in Azerbaijan and fifth places at Spa and Monaco, while the low point is his disqualification from second place in Hungary due to a fuel infringement.

2020
Fully recovered from earlier difficulties, Racing Point secures its first race win and finishes fourth in the standings thanks to Sergio Perez. Perez is replaced by Sebastian Vettel for 2021, alongside the team’s rebrand to Aston Martin.

2019
The after-effects of 2018’s turmoil slow progress, but Sergio Perez delivers consistently strong performances, scoring 52 of the team’s 73 points and helping secure seventh place in the constructors’ championship.

2018
An intense rivalry between Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon coincides with financial uncertainty, leading to new ownership and the adoption of the Racing Point name from the Belgian Grand Prix onwards. Despite losing 59 points earned earlier in the season, the team recovers well to finish seventh overall.
