No more Aston Martin safety cars in F1 2026 - The Race

Mercedes will be the sole supplier of Formula 1's safety and medical cars in the 2026 season, with Aston Martin stepping back from its role. Aston Martin had previously shared responsibility with Mercedes since 2021, but its involvement will conclude at the end of the 2025 season. The decision by Aston Martin could be due to commercial reasons, though the company acknowledged the benefits of the association. Mercedes, which has been the supplier of F1 safety cars since 1996, will now supply the safety and medical cars for the entire season.
