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.

Why people think newey will build a fast car with 100% chance? He could make mistakes

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.

Good news : “ No financial penalties were levied to AMR due to these exceptional and unpredictable circumstances and the Cost Cap Administration confirm that there is no accusation or evidence that AMR has sought or obtained any undue advantage as a result of the breach”

I have no doubts that Honda will be there. The present restrictions on building PUs is more akin to post 2018 in Hybrid era. In that time, Honda's PU has been among the best. I expect that to continue.
