The Briton will also be reunited with Honda, with whom he spent the early part of his Formula 1 career — claiming his first podium in 2004 and securing his maiden victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2006.

The Briton bowed out of Formula 1 at the end of 2016, before making one final appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2017 as a stand-in for Fernando Alonso — that he will now reunite with after the pair previously teamed up at McLaren.

In the years that followed, he turned his focus to other categories — including the World Endurance Championship — before officially hanging up his helmet last November after competing in the season finale in Bahrain.

Alongside his on-track commitments, Button also built a parallel career as a pundit, providing race analysis and commentary over the years for Sky Sports.

“Joining Aston Martin Aramco during such a transformative time in the team and the sport’s history is really exciting for me,” the former British driver commented on the news.

Jefferson Slack, Managing Director of Commercial of Aston Martin, added: “Jenson is one of the most respected figures in modern Formula One and we are delighted to welcome him to Aston Martin Aramco as Team Ambassador.

“He brings World Championship pedigree, deep experience with Honda, and an outstanding ability to connect with fans and partners around the world. As we enter the sport’s defining new era in 2026, Jenson’s insight and presence will be a valuable asset as we continue building this team for long-term success.”
