MARI BOYA JOINS ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO FORMULA ONE™ TEAM DRIVER ACADEMY
Spanish racing driver Mari Boya, Road To Success Driver, has joined the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team, becoming the first driver signed to the team’s newly launched Team Driver Academy, a strategic initiative aimed at identifying, supporting, and developing the next generation of drivers on the path to Formula One.
This long-term vision, shared by Mari Boya and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team, seeks to establish strong, early relationships with promising talents and guide them towards a future within the Formula 1 structure.
As part of the agreement, Mari will wear the iconic British Racing Green colour of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team, and join one of the most ambitious projects in the paddock – a team that is rapidly expanding its technical capabilities, now boosted by the recent arrival of legendary engineer Adrian Newey.
The Team Driver Academy, designed as a structured path for training and development, will allow Mari to integrate into the Aston Martin Aramco environment as early as this season. While continuing his campaign in the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Campos Racing, he will participate in development activities at the AMR Technology Campus in Silverstone.
Mari will also have the opportunity to share the structure with one of his childhood idols, Fernando Alonso, and take part in the journey as the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team continues to grow, carrying the hopes of Spain’s passionate Formula 1 fanbase.
Mari’s first on-track outing as an Aston Martin Aramco Academy Driver will take place later this week at the Austrian Grand Prix, which kicks off on June 27.
Mari Boya said:
“Joining the Aston Martin Aramco Team Driver Academy is a dream come true. It’s a unique opportunity to learn from a team with so much ambition in Formula One™. My goal is to absorb as much knowledge as possible, contribute in every way I can, and continue showing my potential on track”,
“Being part of such a prestigious F1 team and stepping into the Aston Martin Aramco environment is incredibly special. The AMR Technology Campus is an inspiring place to be, and I’m excited for the opportunities ahead as I continue working hard and growing as a driver”.
“Having role models like Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and Pedro de la Rosa within the team makes this journey even more meaningful. I couldn’t be happier. My focus now is to repay the team’s trust with strong performances”.
Andy Cowell, CEO & Team Principal, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team, added:
“Firstly, we are very happy to welcome Mari to the new programme. He is a promising talent with a strong track record, natural speed, and a determined mindset, but he is also an incredibly well-rounded athlete – a trait we value in motorsport. Our aim is to support his development in every area, from racecraft and technical feedback to media, fitness, and personal growth, preparing him for the demands of top-level racing”.
“We are also proud to launch the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy, a programme designed to identify, support, and develop exceptional driving talent. This initiative gives us the opportunity to shape the next generation of drivers, helping them grow into the complete package both on and off the track. Guiding young talent through some of the most challenging and competitive phases of their careers is not only a privilege, but a shared passion across the entire team”.
