"We already enjoy an important strategic relationship and their support as our title partner for the next five years is a clear demonstration of our shared ambition.

"Since 2022, they have played a key role in Aston Martin's Formula One journey and their contribution will only become more significant in the years ahead.

"We are working together on several key initiatives, including the development of advanced fuels for 2026, when we begin our Honda works power unit partnership."

Aston Martin finished fifth in the 2023 season with 280 points with eight podiums for Fernando Alonso, who took fourth in the Drivers' with Lance Stroll 10th.
