Aston Martin has decided not to renew its agreement to supply Formula 1's safety and medical cars after the 2025 season, reverting the role solely to Mercedes from 2026. The British manufacturer shared duties with Mercedes since 2021, but its vehicles faced early criticism for performance issues. Mercedes will now provide its high-powered AMG models for all 24 races next year.
Mercedes has officially announced it will provide the safety and medical cars for every Formula 1 race in 2026, as well as pre-season testing in Bahrain. This marks the end of its shared role with Aston Martin and celebrates the 30th anniversary of the partnership. Safety car driver Bernd Mayländer will reach a milestone of 500 grands prix during the season.
