Aston Martin Partners with CoreWeave for 2026 F1 Challenge
Aston Martin has secured a groundbreaking partnership with CoreWeave as it gears up for the 2026 Formula 1 season. This collaboration aims to enhance the design and performance of the team’s next-generation chassis, spearheaded by renowned engineer Adrian Newey.
The alliance, announced during the Monaco Grand Prix, aligns with Aston Martin’s commitment to harness cutting-edge technology and AI capabilities in its design and race strategy. CoreWeave will serve as the official AI Cloud Computing and Infrastructure partner, with an emphasis on precision in aerodynamics and real-time race analytics.
Jean English, Chief Marketing Officer at CoreWeave, emphasized the partnership’s dual focus: “We are bringing a new level of precision to car design and race strategy, utilizing the latest NVIDIA GPUs.” She highlighted the integration of real-time analytics to optimize performance from the drivers during races.
Aston Martin is currently investing millions to upgrade its Silverstone headquarters, which will house the new wind tunnel facility. This wind tunnel is designed to leverage AI-driven aerodynamic predictions and streamline the testing of car components before final validations. English stated, “Every single layer is about speed. It’s the speed of what we provide and the speed that ultimately then comes from the cars on the track.”
CoreWeave’s AI infrastructure is poised to assist in rapid iterations of car parts, significantly enhancing design efficiency. English remarked on the importance of this partnership: “This is not just about racing; we see F1 as a platform for high-performance AI engineering.”
As this multi-year collaboration progresses, Aston Martin aims to establish itself as a formidable contender in Formula 1, particularly with Newey’s innovative contributions. If CoreWeave delivers on its promise, Aston Martin’s future in the sport looks promising.
