Aston Martin has announced that Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso will continue as the team's drivers in 2027, having extended their long-term contracts.

According to the press statement, "as the most experienced driver line-up in Formula One, the duo will continue to provide Aston Martin with a valuable depth of racing knowledge and technical insight as the team builds on its work throughout the 2026 season and beyond. The renewed commitment from both drivers demonstrates their strong motivation and unshakable belief in the potential of the team and its technical partners".

Stroll, "who will enter his 11th Formula One season in 2027, has played a pivotal role in the Aston Martin Aramco journey since first joining the Silverstone-based team in 2019. The Canadian has completed more than 200 Formula One starts, with three podium finishes to his name, and brings a wealth of experience gained during a period of significant growth and development for the team.

"Alonso (pictured, his thrill at the news leaving him slightly out of focus) will continue his record-breaking Formula One career and this extension reaffirms the Spaniard's long-term commitment to the Aston Martin Aramco team and brand. Since signing with the team in 2023, the double World Champion has competed in 85 Grands Prix, scored eight podiums and taken two second-place finishes.

"The continuation and stability of the long-standing pairing allows Aston Martin to fully focus on its development path, harnessing the knowledge and deep-rooted relationships between the drivers and the wider organisation."

Lance Stroll: "I'm very happy to continue with Aston Martin Aramco for the long term. I've been on this journey since the beginning and I believe we have the resources and the people to become a winning team. There is so much hard work going on at Silverstone with real progress being made, and the determination I see in every department is a huge motivation for me. I know we are heading in the right direction, and my commitment is stronger than ever to help us achieve our goals."

Fernando Alonso: "I'm very happy to sign a new contract with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team. I took my time to make this decision, but racing is my life, my passion, and I know I still have the speed and determination to compete at the highest level. I'm committed for the long term with this team and to helping us succeed. I truly believe in what we are building: we have strong leadership, incredible people, partners and facilities. I look forward to making more memories on the race track in front of the passionate fans. Their energy creates an atmosphere that inspires me and is what makes our sport special."

Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team: "Lance and Fernando have been a crucial part of our journey and we are very pleased to confirm that they will continue with us into the next chapter for the team. Having two drivers with their level of experience, commitment and knowledge provides tremendous value to the whole organisation. We are here to win, and whilst our short-term focus remains on improving performance, I believe we have the world-class talent we need to achieve our long-term objectives."

The confirmation means Aston Martin Aramco will retain the same driver pairing for a fifth consecutive season.
