Aston Martin finally put its new AMR26 through a proper test during the Barcelona shakedown, with Fernando Alonso logging 61 laps on the final day after an initial setback. The team arrived late but expressed pride in overcoming major changes, including a new Honda partnership and in-house gearbox. Adrian Newey's influence motivated the squad amid the debut of his first design for the team.
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.
