Aston Martin

Aston Martin Aston Martin is the Silverstone-based Formula 1 entry that carries one of the sport’s oldest names yet operates from the modern lineage of the Jordan/Force India/Racing Point team. In 2026 it is the Honda-powered works outfit, currently sitting 10th with 7 points.

Early name, brief start

Aston Martin first entered Formula 1 in 1959 and 1960, running its own front‑engined cars in an era already moving to rear‑engined designs. The results were thin: sixth in the 1959 constructors’ table with no points, followed by 10th in 1960, again with no points. After that the marque withdrew from the championship. The name would not return to the F1 entry list for six decades.

The Silverstone lineage

Today’s team is rooted in the Jordan Grand Prix organisation founded at Silverstone and entered in 1991. That same operation evolved, uninterrupted and at the same base, through a series of ownership and name changes: Midland, Spyker and then Force India. It built a reputation for shrewd engineering and strong value for money in the midfield. After Force India, the team ran as Racing Point, still from Silverstone, before the Aston Martin name returned to the entry in 2021.

Reborn as Aston Martin

The modern Aston Martin Formula 1 Team began in 2021, rebranding the Racing Point entry while remaining headquartered at Silverstone. The first two seasons brought seventh in 2021 on 77 points, and seventh again in 2022 with 55. There were no wins. The team used Mercedes power units through the end of 2025.

Breakthrough pace, then reset

A strong step in form came in 2023. The team finished fifth with 280 points, by far the best haul of the Aston Martin era to that point, and a sustained presence near the front at several events. It did not deliver a victory, but the scale of points reflected a car and programme that could regularly challenge for substantial finishes. In 2024 the team again placed fifth, this time with 94 points.

The 2025 season yielded seventh place with 89 points, returning the entry to the midfield mix. Across these four completed seasons, the record is clear: no wins and a peak of competitiveness in 2023. The team remained based at Silverstone, tracing continuity back through Racing Point, Force India, Spyker, Midland and Jordan.

Works Honda era and 2026 so far

For 2026 Aston Martin became a Honda works partner under the new rules cycle, with the operation still centred at Silverstone. It is a significant shift after years with Mercedes power. The immediate picture is challenging: as the standings stand, Aston Martin is 10th on 7 points with no wins in 2026.

The team’s lineage is unusually clear for Formula 1. The Aston Martin name carries the brief 1959–60 effort, but the substance of the current team is the continuous Silverstone operation launched by Jordan and carried through Midland, Spyker, Force India and Racing Point. In its latest guise, it has already produced a top‑five constructors’ finish and a 280‑point season, and it now pursues the next step as a fully fledged works outfit. The record supplied by the standings is the benchmark: six modern campaigns as Aston Martin, no victories yet, a peak of fifth in 2023 and 2024, and a new manufacturer partnership to shape what comes next.
