Aston Martin's new AMR26 car, designed by Adrian Newey, finally hit the track on the fourth day of the 2026 Formula 1 pre-season shakedown at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Lance Stroll completed a handful of slow laps before a precautionary stop triggered a red flag. The radical design has already drawn attention despite the team's delayed arrival.
Formula 1 drivers have shared their first impressions after the Barcelona shakedown of the 2026 cars, highlighting both challenges and excitements in the new regulations. Key aspects include energy management issues, handling differences, and powerful acceleration.

The Aston Martin Formula 1 team will forgo at least one of its three allowed testing days at the 2026 Barcelona shakedown due to delays with its new AMR26 car. The team plans to run on Thursday and Friday, allowing drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll limited track time. This comes as other teams begin their preparations for the new season.
