Overview
- Aston Martin confirmed on Monday that the AMR27 will be built from scratch and that no components will carry over from the AMR26.
- The team says the new car will still draw conceptually on lessons from 2026 while allowing designers freedom to change every part.
- Honda is running intensive hardware and software work at its Sakura base with several upgrades planned to improve drivability and engine control.
- Aston Martin scored just three points and sits 10th in the constructors this year, though a B‑spec aero package in Hungary and a Honda upgrade at Zandvoort helped Fernando Alonso finish ninth, the team's best result.
- Engineering resources are being shifted now to the 2027 project so the team can meet rule changes on fuel, energy deployment and a major front‑of‑floor redesign and potentially benefit from faster chassis–PU integration.
