Aston Martin has confirmed Lance Stroll will remain as a driver with the team for at least two more years.
As the son of the team’s owner Lawrence Stroll, Lance’s future was in little doubt beyond the end of this season, but confirmation of his future was not announced until Thursday ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix.
Aston Martin stated that he will continue to race at the team into the next set of technical regulations in 2026.
He will partner Fernando Alonso, who signed a new contract in April to remain at Aston Martin until at least the end of 2026.
“I’m super happy to have committed to staying with the team for 2025 and beyond,” Stroll said in a statement. “It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in the last five years; we’ve grown so much as a team and there’s still so much more to look forward to.”
“We are delighted to confirm Lance’s future with Aston Martin Aramco. He has played a key role in building this team,” Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack said

“His technical feedback, alongside his committed simulator work, has helped contribute to the continuous development of the car each season.
“The consistency and stability of both Lance and Fernando remaining with our team is a great platform to continue to realise our ambitions. We look forward to creating some more incredible memories and achieving further success together.”
Stroll joined the team in 2019 after his father bought it and saved it from bankruptcy in August 2018.
The team rebranded as Aston Martin in 2022 and finished fifth in last year’s constructors’ championship.
Aston Martin will switch from Mercedes to Honda engines in 2026 as part of a works deal with the Japanese manufacturer under F1’s next set of technical regulations.
