Watch - Aston Martin Valhalla makes its dynamic debut at Monaco
The Aston Martin Valhalla made its dynamic debut on the weekend around the Monaco street circuit. Driven by two-time Formula One World Champion and Aston Martin F1 driver, Fernando Alonso, the Valhalla was showcased in its natural habitat; an ultra-wealthy principality. Previously seen only in static displays, this Valhalla was wearing an AMR25-inspired Podium Green and Lime Green livery for its on-track debut. 'Unveiling Valhalla's dynamic capability at the Monaco Grand Prix weekend is a fantastic moment for both myself and the brand,' said Alonso. 'Valhalla delivers everything you'd expect from a true supercar—power, handling, emotion—and does so with cutting-edge F1-inspired technology.' Read more 2024 Aston Martin Vantage review The Valhalla is the first series-production mid-engined supercar in Aston Martin's 112-year history and represents a leap into hybrid performance territory. At its heart is a bespoke 4.0-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 (the most powerful V8 ever fitted to an Aston Martin) combined with a plug-in hybrid system producing 1079PS and 1100Nm of torque. It's also the first Aston Martin to feature a dual-motor front axle, allowing torque vectoring and enabling full all-wheel drive. Developed in close collaboration with Aston Martin Performance Technologies (AMPT), the Valhalla is said to benefit from Formula 1 expertise in aerodynamics, materials, and chassis dynamics. Aston says this partnership ensures the Valhalla delivers not just headline numbers, but a level of engagement and precision befitting the Aston Martin badge. Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin's CEO, described the moment as a milestone for the brand: 'To witness the culmination of the tireless work from all teams involved, showcased on an iconic F1 circuit like Monaco and driven by an icon like Fernando is a significant moment in Aston Martin's rich history of both road cars and racing.' Limited to just 999 units, production of the Aston Martin Valhalla is on track for customer deliveries in the second half of 2025.

Charles Leclerc tops timesheets in Monaco despite crash with Lance Stroll
Monegasque Leclerc sparked jubilation in the principality 12 months ago when he banished years of near misses to clinch his first victory on the streets of Monte Carlo. He has suggested that the chances of a repeat this season are low due to Ferrari's struggles, but recovered well from a troubled start in Friday's first running. Less than three minutes in, Leclerc locked up and had to take to the run-off area at Mirabeau. Here's how Leclerc damaged his front wing 🎥 Sound on 🔊#F1 #MonacoGP — Formula 1 (@F1) May 23, 2025 Worse was to come a few minutes later as the 27-year-old charged towards the famous hairpin but Stroll pulled into his path and Leclerc lost his front wing as he ran into the back of the Aston Martin. Team radio revealed that Stroll, who was not on a fast lap, was told Leclerc was approaching but the Canadian said: 'I didn't hear you.' Stroll sustained damage to his rear suspension and his session was over as Aston Martin changed his gearbox. He was later given a one-place grid penalty by the stewards. Watching on from the Aston Martin garage was Adrian Newey, who is at the track for the first time since starting work as managing technical partner in March. The 66-year-old, widely considered as the greatest technical mastermind in the sport, was pictured inspecting the car with his trademark notebook. Hello to Adrian Newey 👋 It's the first time we've seen the legendary car designer at a race weekend with his new team @AstonMartinF1 #F1 #MonacoGP — Formula 1 (@F1) May 23, 2025 Leclerc doubted his Ferrari would excel in the slow-speed corners of Monaco but showed strong pace after receiving a new front wing to finish 0.163 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen. McLaren's Lando Norris was third, over three tenths off the pace, with Alex Albon fourth for Williams ahead of championship leader Oscar Piastri. The Australian is 13 points clear of team-mate Norris in the standings, with Verstappen 22 points adrift after his victory at Imola last weekend. George Russell was sixth for Mercedes. Leclerc's team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished ninth and over seven tenths off the pace after a difficult session, including flying over the kerb on the exit of the swimming pool section.
