🚨 | BREAKING: Lance Stroll is set to remain with Aston Martin for the 2027 F1 season…Lance Stroll to Remain With Aston Martin for 2027 F1 Season
Lance Stroll will continue with Aston Martin into the 2027 Formula 1 season after the team confirmed an unchanged driver line-up for the year ahead. The Canadian has extended his long-term contract with the Silverstone-based outfit, ensuring he will remain behind the wheel as Aston Martin continues its ambitious development programme.
The announcement, made on September 29, confirms that Stroll will once again share the Aston Martin garage with Fernando Alonso. The pair are set to continue as teammates for a fifth consecutive season, giving the team one of the most experienced driver pairings on the Formula 1 grid.
For Stroll, the agreement represents another chapter in his long association with the team. He joined the organisation in 2019 when it competed as Racing Point and has remained with the outfit through its transformation into Aston Martin. The 2027 campaign will mark his 11th Formula 1 season, while he has already surpassed 200 Grand Prix starts and collected three podium finishes during his career.
Speaking after the announcement, Stroll expressed his satisfaction at continuing with the team and highlighted his belief in Aston Martin’s long-term potential. He pointed to the work taking place at the team’s Silverstone headquarters and said the progress being made across the organisation had strengthened his motivation to remain involved.
The decision also provides Aston Martin with stability as the team looks to build a stronger future in Formula 1. Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll said that both Lance Stroll and Alonso had played an important role in the team’s journey and that retaining their experience and knowledge would be valuable as Aston Martin moves into its next phase.
The confirmation of Stroll’s future came alongside the announcement that Alonso will also remain with Aston Martin for 2027. The two-time world champion had faced greater uncertainty over his future, with his previous agreement approaching its conclusion. His new contract means the team will retain the same driver pairing for another season.
Aston Martin has endured a difficult 2026 campaign so far, sitting 10th in the Constructors’ Championship after 15 rounds with three points. All of those points have been scored by Alonso. The team’s performance has increased the importance of its longer-term development plans as it seeks to improve its competitiveness.
Despite the challenges, the team has continued to invest in its facilities, personnel and technical programme. Aston Martin’s leadership has repeatedly outlined ambitions to become a regular contender at the front of the Formula 1 field, and retaining two experienced drivers gives the organisation continuity as it works towards those goals.
For Stroll, the new deal means he will remain an Aston Martin driver beyond the current 2026 campaign, ending any immediate uncertainty surrounding his place on the 2027 grid. His continued presence also maintains a relationship that has lasted through several major changes within the team.
With Stroll and Alonso both confirmed, Aston Martin can now focus on its preparations for the next chapter of Formula 1. The 2027 season will provide another opportunity for the Canadian to continue developing alongside the team and pursue further progress in his career.
The announcement therefore brings clarity to Aston Martin’s driver plans while reinforcing the team’s commitment to continuity. Stroll and Alonso will remain at the heart of the project as Aston Martin looks to turn its long-term ambitions into results on the Formula 1 circuit.
