A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Aston Martin has been the first team to announce their 2026 car launch date.
The team which will be lead by F1 car designing guru Adrian Newey as of 2026 has been the first to announce its car launch date.
The Silverstone-based outfit will present its car on February 9th, just ten days after the behind-closed-doors test in Barcelona - scheduled from 26 January to 30 - come to an end.
The car named AMR26, will represent a first of many for the British racing green coloured team, since it will be the first car built and designed fully under Newey's technical supervision, and it will also premiere the exclusive collaboration with power unit supplier Honda.
For 2026 Aston Martin has confirmed it will continue to field its current line up of two-time world champion Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.
