Aston Martin’s wider racing world came alive this week, with major wins at Paul Ricard, Barcelona and Okayama, while Formula 1 remained the uncomfortable exception. Add in Valhalla reaction, Vantage S praise, a rare DBS UB-2010 Edition and a fascinating Vanquish Zagato value debate, and there was plenty to unpick across the Aston Martin world.
Fuel the Passion (FTP) Weekly Roundup
From the first meaningful signals around Aston Martin’s 2026 Formula One programme to the announcement of Nicki Thiim joining Comtoyou Racing’s DTM Vantage GT3 effort, this week showed the marque operating across very different arenas at once.
Alongside ambition and momentum, there were more sobering developments too, with workforce consultations about job redundancies, serving as a reminder that behind the cars, competition and partnerships sit real people facing real uncertainty.
This week’s roundup reflects that balance; progress and pressure, heritage and hard reality, all part of Aston Martin’s complex present.
Put the kettle on and take your time with this one.
