According to RacingNews365, Aston Martin has committed to Formula 1 until 2030 shortly after announcing the extension of Fernando Alonso’s contract.
Last Thursday, it became official that Fernando Alonso will extend his contract with his current team, Aston Martin, which expires at the end of 2024. The parties did not reveal how long the new contract would last, but they made it clear that they were committed to working together for a long time. In addition, Alonso can count on positions with the greens even after his retirement.
As RacingNews365 knows, after that Aston Martin made another important decision: the brand is said to have committed itself to extending its participation in Formula 1 and will definitely be present in the premier category until 2030.
In other words, until 2030, the team will definitely compete under the name of Aston Martin, which will otherwise use Honda’s resources from the 2026 season, namely as a factory-level partner of the Japanese.

Lawrence Stroll, who owns the team and Aston Martin as a brand, recently made a very positive statement about F1’s involvement and its impact, so it is not surprising that they continue the project, into which a lot of money and energy was spent in previous years (they built a new wind tunnel and their base was also successfully renovated).
“Formula 1 helped us transform the nature and credibility of our business activity” the Times quoted the Canadian as saying. “In addition, it also meant extra performance, which we can also incorporate into street cars” he added.
“Participation in Formula 1 not only enabled 2.3 billion viewers to see our racing cars in beautiful green over 24 weekends during a season, but also opened up new dimensions regarding the perception of the brand: it attracted much younger customers to us, Aston Martin” concluded the successful businessman.
