Aston Martin’s driver lineup will remain the same in 2025, with Alonso extending his contract until 2026 as he continues his partnership with Lance Stroll.

The two drivers will be hoping for improvement in 2025, due to the arrival of design legend Adrian Newey as their managing technical partner in March.

Despite Newey’s pedigree, he will have little impact on the overall design of the 2025 car, with his focus expected to be on the 2026 challenger as Aston Martin looks to join the championship fight in time for the regulation changes.
