Aston Martin confirmed the contract with Jack Crawford.

      Aston Martin have confirmed a contract with Jack Crawford for 2026. Next season the 20-year-old American driver will be the third driver for the Silverstone-based team.

      Aston Martin separately stressed that Jack Crawford will be the reserve driver at all rounds of the 2026 season.

      Jack Crawford: “I am incredibly proud to have been confirmed as the third driver for 2026. This is an important moment in my Aston Martin career and a huge motivation to keep learning and to contribute.

      Over the past two seasons I have learned a lot in Formula 1, working at the factory and on track. I will do everything I can to help the team and continue my own development.”

      Mike Krack, team principal: “It’s great to see Jack’s progress, who will become our third driver in 2026. Over the past two years he has proven his worth as one of our key drivers and has gained valuable testing experience.

      Jack has impressed us with his regular work on the simulator, helping on race weekends and in car development. Jack’s performance in Formula 2 is also impressive, and we are pleased to support his development by giving him an even more important role.”

      The role of third and reserve driver means that, if necessary, Jack Crawford will replace one of Aston Martin’s primary drivers — Fernando Alonso or Lance Stroll.

En la salida del Gran Premio de México varios pilotos atajaron la primera curva y no fueron sancionados por ello. Esa decisión de los comisarios provocó el descontento de Fernando Alonso —el piloto de Aston Martin prometió que en el futuro actuará de forma similar. Fernando Alonso: «Entré bastante agresivamente en la primera curva y todo iba bien, pero luego varios coches atajaron la segunda y la tercera curva en la recta, reincorporándose a la pista tres o cuatro coches por delante de mí. Debo decir que eso no es justo. Por segunda vez consecutiva, en la primera vuelta y en la primera curva, ocurren estas cosas y la FIA mira hacia otro lado. Bueno, lección aprendida. No se puede atajar las curvas y ganar dos o tres posiciones, porque después de eso estás obligado a devolverlas. Claro, la FIA tiene más información a su disposición, y decidieron que no era necesario devolver las posiciones. La próxima vez, en una situación similar, seré yo quien intente obtener la ventaja. Espero que eso nos favorezca». En la salida del Gran Premio de México varios pilotos atajaron la primera curva y no fueron sancionados por ello.
