What Aston Martin this more focused In the year 2026 That in 2025, it is something that we could presuppose from the beginning of the campaign, but as the weeks go by, it is being announced that it goes much further and that, from the beginning, This 2025 seems not to count anything for the Escuderíto. The latest information, from the mouth of Bob Bell, executive director of Aston Martinthey point out that Fernando Alonso y Lance Stroll They have already put themselves at the wheel of AMR26.
Aston Martin throws the season
He Aston Martin’s beginning of the year has been very bad. The team made the decision to focus its resources for the new regulation, but they did not expect the performance of this campaign to be so embarrassing. To such an extent that they are trying to take a little step forward to save the fool of, but little else.
Aston Martin made the decision, they were aware that it was going to be a bad year, because the goal is another, it is much more ambitious than what they could have achieved in this campaign even if they had focused 100%: they want to be World Champions, and want it to be in 2026. Of course it would be surprising, since never in the history of the F1a team has gone from being in the grid’s tail to win the following year, but that is the bet and for what Lawrence Stroll has invested.
AMR25 tests
So much so that this season’s AMR25 will not have its own and exclusive updates. They will try new piecesthe next three races without going any further, but they are that, tests. The new pieces belong to the next season’s car and the only way to know 100% that work and that a good job is being done from Silverstone is to see them in the asphalt. Therefore, No one can ensure that these pieces will be an improvement for AMR25but the goal is that they are.
Meanwhile, the AMR26 development team continues to work hard from the United Kingdom to build a winning car in 2026. Bob Bell, executive director of Aston Martin He has granted an interview where he has recognized team’s plans since the beginning of the season.
-“You have to achieve a balance between how resources are divided by 2025 and 2026. This is never easy, regardless of the regulation. The most important thing, is probably 2026.”
“This is the decision we made last year and, consequently, we transfer a lot of AMR24 components to AMR25 so as not to have to devote much to redesign and manufacture components for what would be very marginal gains.”
AMR25 tests
On the other hand, Bob Bell has also commented that His two pilots for next season, Fernando Alonso and Lance Strollthey have already put themselves behind the wheel of AMR26yes, the Virtual carsince they will not be able to try it in the asphalt until next January 2026.
“It is very important to obtain an early evaluation of the pilots, since their comments are a fundamental part of the development process.” “This is not like the refinement of an existing car: what they feel, and how they believe that these cars will potentially be handled is part of the learning process.”
Aston Martin is clear and that, in part, should be good news. As more planning details are known, the results of the current season can be understood. However, all teams are also allocating most resources to the next season, so it is incomprehensible that they are currently fighting for not being the worst grid car.
