With a week to go until the 2026 F1 circus returns to school in Melbourne, Australia, we remain fascinated as to whether the performance of the Aston Martin F1 team has any bearing on their share price movements. Should this be the case, Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings Ordinary Shares (LSE:AML)a’s price so far this year tends to broadcast an expectation of a pretty foul year for them on the race track. Between using Honda engines, along with retaining drivers such as Stroll and Alonso, they are certainly sewing the seeds of disappointment for times ahead.

Share price movements look especially bad for Aston Martin, our calculations showing movement below just 54p risks triggering reversal down to an initial 45p with our secondary, if broken, working out at 30p and almost a certain bottom with a hopeful rebound. In a perfect world, the share would bounce at 45p but we certainly have our doubts.
Maybe there’s a chance things could go right for Aston, their share price needing to close a session above just 62p to tick a box which, according to our logic, should provide early warning for a change in market mood.
Such a scenario, suggests above 62p could trigger a recovery cycle to an initial 76p with our secondary, if beaten, at 88p in the longer term. At such a level we shall feel a need to re-run the numbers, due to a future 110p apparently introducing a Big Picture attraction.
Perhaps worth watching?
