Aston Martin, Jenson Button new ambassador

Button “reunites” with Alonso, he will be an Aston Martin ambassador Aston Martin is ambitious in every sector, even in communication. A few minutes ago the Silverstone team announced the entry of Jenson Button into the team as team ambassador. The 2009 world champion will make his experience and international profile available to Lawrence Stroll’s team as part of a multi-year agreement. Button, who until a few days ago held the role of consultant at Williams, will be involved in media and commercial activities. For Button it is an exciting return to the past: first of all with Honda, the team with which he won his first GP in Formula 1 (Hungary 2006), and then with Fernando Alonso, a driver he has known for 25 years (since his time at Benetton), with whom he was a rival in a thousand battles and a former teammate at McLaren. Button’s words “Joining Aston Martin in such an important period for the team and for the history of the sport is really exciting for me,” he commented. “The new official partnership between Honda and the team has been a huge attraction and I can’t wait to put my years of experience to use in my new ambassador role. The 2026 season will be fascinating and being part of such an ambitious team is a real opportunity. I can’t wait to get to Melbourne.” Slack’s words “Jenson is one of the most respected figures in modern Formula 1 and we are delighted to welcome him to Aston Martin as a Team Ambassador,” added commercial managing director Jefferson Slack. “He brings with him a World Champion pedigree, deep experience with Honda and an extraordinary ability to connect with fans and partners around the world. As we enter the sport’s defining new era in 2026, his presence will be an invaluable asset in leading this team to success.”
