Aston Martin are designing Team Silverstone's first in-house gearboxes since 2008, so plenty of preparation is required...
Aston Martin revealed they have been recruiting “very talented” people to work on the team’s new gearbox project, which will take effect for when they become a new factory team in 2026.
In preparation for this, the team are already working hard to hit the ground running to have a new gearbox that will work with Honda’s power unit – the first manufactured in-house at the Silverstone team since the 2008 season.Aston Martin engineering director Luca Furbatto said the team have been working hard behind the scenes on the project, which is just one part of the eventual severing of customer ties they currently have with Mercedes at the end of 2025.
Given the amount of work that is happening on just one part of the car, it offers insight into the scale of what the team is undertaking as it prepares to fly solo in a couple of years’ time. “In 2026 we will reach works team status with Honda: much will change and we will need to carry out a number of new projects for the car.“The last time this team made its own gearbox was 2008 and things have moved on a bit since then!
