Aston Martin unveiled their 2026 Formula 1 car livery in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, marking the debut of Adrian Newey's first design for the team. The AMR26 features Honda power units and represents a new era for the Silverstone-based squad as they aim to climb the Constructors' Championship standings after finishing seventh in 2025.

The launch event streamed live at 7pm showcased Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll's new challenger ahead of pre-season testing. This marks the fourth consecutive season for the driver pairing, who will both be hoping for significant improvements. The team conducted 65 laps during the recent Barcelona shakedown, though the car ran in all-black livery before the official reveal.

Pre-season testing begins Wednesday in Bahrain, with Sky Sports F1 providing comprehensive coverage across both test sessions. The AMR26's performance during these sessions will be crucial as Aston Martin transitions to works team status with Honda engines. The Bahrain tests offer the first opportunity to see Newey's design in its final livery configuration on track.
