Will be another terrible year to watch. If we expect after a horribles 24 and 25 anything better this year, so, here we go. We will be the last team, probably worse than Cadillac. Its incredible how unlucky Alonso is.
Could people stop saying "we" unless they are part of the team? It disingenuous and/or delusional.

Yes they put in billions of dollars on that projects and they are fuming at Honda for reability problems except that they is nothing major wrong with the engine the problem is gearbox. The delusion ran deep

Looking at race stint times, Aston Martin looks about 1.5+ seconds behind Racing Bulls and Alpine.
That is a disgrace.

Massive turnover hurts continuity with car philosophy and design. Anyone can remember me being worried about this in the offseason.

Engine hit 13 200 rpm during the rev spike.
But why was there such a rapid rpm spike? Alonso was off throttle at the time

The departures announced at the end of the previous season and the recent ones were in the team since a good while.

Why would Max want to come to Aston after he and his daddy fired Christian from RB? They run RB now

I used "we" because I assume the people who are here want to see the Aston Martin.

get over yourself man. WE deal with letdown every upgrade for the last 3 years. WE wear their merch still. WE still watch them whether they are good or bad. why are YOU so touchy about some semantics haha. its nothing to do with some fantasy. people say the same about their favorite football team and nobody is getting confused about whether or not they are playing football. this is the general team section, not getting deep in some technical stuff.

PU lost connection to the tires on downshift. Be that clutch, transmission, drive shaft, etc.

It seems they're having recurring problems with the hydraulic system. I imagine it could be caused by excessive pressure, and then I remember the video about cavitation. It seems like the perfect suspect. Although I find it impossible to distinguish the symptoms from those caused by a poorly designed gearbox. Or perhaps it's both ...

The situation is worrying, but it has one advantage: there's no reason to be happy or to get carried away. I think that's for the best: any improvement will be a welcome relief.
Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.

They are clearly running detuned based on speed traps.
