From Track to Community: A Purposeful Collaboration Between Pepperstone and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team

In the world of high performance, true partnerships are measured not just in podiums, but in purpose. That belief came to life recently at Pepperstone’s Melbourne headquarters, where a bold, collaborative and a purposeful tribute now greets every visitor: four custom-painted surfboards created to commemorate the brand’s growing alliance with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team.

More than just Art

Commissioned during the height of the Australian Grand Prix, these striking boards are the work of Ella Doyle, a Melbourne-based artist known for her expressive, detail-rich pieces. Each one serves as a visual metaphor for the shared values driving this partnership—precision, innovation, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence.

As a gesture of appreciation and deeper alignment, Pepperstone made a charitable contribution to ‘Headspace’, Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation. Dedicated to supporting young Australians aged 12–25, headspace provides early intervention services that are more essential now than ever.

At Pepperstone, we believe performance isn’t just about speed or data—it’s about doing the right thing with consistency and heart. This initiative is just one of the many ways we hope to lead with purpose alongside our partners.

“This symbolic gesture from the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team—a series of autographed surfboards gifted to mark our first Grand Prix together—captures the spirit of our partnership,” said Jodi Cutler, Head of Global Brand at Pepperstone. “In return, we committed to supporting Headspace, a foundation that reflects our values and our promise to do better, together. This partnership is more than a sponsorship—it’s a cultural signal of who we are and who we aspire to become.”

An Artistic Homage to the Ever-growing Partnership

Among the set is a standout tribute: a board adorned with the custom Pepperstone helmet worn by Lance Stroll at Albert Park. Inspired by the dynamic patterns of candlestick charts, the helmet design blends the worlds of elite racing and high-stakes trading—disciplines where milliseconds and micro-decisions can change everything.

Signed Symbols of Shared Purpose

Lending weight to their meaning, the boards have been signed by key figures from AMF1—those at the heart of the team’s ambition and achievement:

• Andy Cowell, CEO, Aston Martin Aramco F1™ Team

• Lawrence Stroll, Team Owner

• Lance Stroll, F1 Driver and Melbourne points finisher

• Fernando Alonso, Two-time Formula 1 World Champion and racing icon

Far from just memorabilia, these signatures mark a shared commitment to excellence—and an intention to leave a lasting legacy beyond the track.

A Lasting Presence

Now permanently displayed in Pepperstone’s Melbourne office, the surfboards are more than a symbol of partnership. They’re a visual statement of what Pepperstone and Aston Martin Aramco F1™ stand for: pushing boundaries, embracing bold ideas, and doing it all with intent.
