Issue 12 - Fuel the Passion (FTP) Weekly Roundup
Bahrain testing continues to test patience at Aston Martin, with mileage more important than headlines as the countdown to Australia begins.

Issue 08 - Fuel the Passion (FTP) – Weekly Roundup
From the formal start of Aston Martin’s works partnership with Honda in Formula 1, to Valkyrie’s return to the top class at Daytona, this week has been about direction rather than drama. We look at the end of the FIA Safety Car era, fresh perspective on the DB12 S, the newly announced Aston Martin Experiences programme for 2026, and what all of this tells us about where the brand is heading. As ever, it’s about context, accuracy and the bigger picture.
