One thing I'm really looking forward to is pre-season testing and the car reveals. In previous years following Alonso I always got the sinking feeling soon after the cars were launched that Alonso was in another dud while looking over at the competition (especially at whatever Newey was cooking). Next year it will be nice to hopefully be on the other side of that and Alonso can finally be in one of the performant cars.
Unfortunately, no matter how good Newey is, if Honda is not close to Mercedes in terms of power unit, it wont matter. Think Red bull during the early days of hybrid era. They were best in aero but nowhere close to winning. In 2026, PU matters even more.
