Aston Martin’s appointment of Jack Crawford as its first-ever “third driver” hints at more than just a title change. With Honda joining as power unit partner in 2026, the move could foreshadow a strategic shift in the team’s driver structure — and possibly open the door for Yuki Tsunoda.
Aston Martin’s 20-year-old junior driver Jack Crawford will make his Formula 1 debut at the Mexican Grand Prix, taking part in FP1 in place of Lance Stroll. Currently second in the F2 Championship, Crawford’s performance could mark the start of a new chapter for America’s next F1 hopeful.
