Lance Stroll will continue to drive for Aston Martin next year “and beyond”, the team has announced.
His new contract means Stroll will spend at least eight years at his father Lawrence’s Formula 1 team.
Stroll joined the team in 2019, when it was known as Racing Point. Lawrence Stroll later purchased the Aston Martin brand and rebranded his team after the car manufacturer.
“I’m super-happy to have committed to staying with the team for 2025 and beyond,” he said. “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.”
Fernando Alonso joined Stroll at the team last year and extended his contract to drive for them earlier this year. Today’s news confirms the pair will remain together at the team when F1 introduces its next set of technical regulations in 2026.
The 42-year-old, two-times world champion has said Stroll will lead Aston Martin once he retires.
Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack said Stroll has “played a key role in building this team. 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.”
The new means Aston Martin are the fourth team to officially confirm their driver line-up for 2025, though Stroll’s place at the team was never likely to be in doubt. Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren have also set their pairings for next year.
