Aston Martin have announced a “significant milestone” in their preparations for the F1 2026 rule changes with a “collaboration agreement” signed between the team’s technical partners Honda, Aramco and Valvoline.
Aston Martin are expected to make significant strides in the F1 2026, when the team’s highly anticipated works partnership with Japanese manufacturer Honda – the current partners of reigning F1 Constructors’ Champions Red Bull – will commence.

With F1 set to turn to 100 per cent biofuels from F1 2026, the synergy between engine manufacturer and fuel partner is expected to emerge as a key performance differentiator under the new regulations.
Aston Martin’s hopes in this area will fall on Saudi Arabian fuels giant Aramco, which became the team’s sole title partner at the beginning of F1 2024, with Valvoline, which announced a long-term technical and brand partnership with Aston Martin last year, providing lubricants.
On Tuesday, Aston Martin announced that representatives of all three companies have signed a “technical collaboration agreement” which “aims to leverage each of the world-class partners’ expertise and technology to create the best possible opportunities” ahead of F1 2026.
