True cost of Aston Martin F1 project revealed despite £344m revenue surge

Newly released financial accounts for the Aston Martin F1 team show a post-tax loss of £41.1 million for 2025 as owner Lawrence Stroll continues heavy investment. Total losses stood at £28.5 million after other comprehensive income, down slightly from a £45.8 million post-tax loss recorded in 2024. Revenue rose 22 percent to £344.2 million, bolstered by a 23 percent surge in commercial revenue.

The team's costs surged after average headcount increased nearly 20 percent from 845 to 996 employees, doubling staff costs from £69.8 million to £134.1 million. Key outlays included expanding technical staff, commissioning a new wind tunnel, and signing technical mastermind Adrian Newey on a reported £30 million annual package.
