2026 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team

i think going into this break the biggest thing they need to figure out is the vibrations that disappeared in FP1 and FP2 only for it to show up on saturday. It looked liek they didnt change the engine settings or anything.like that. They only changed the engine cover with relaibility power will come automatically. Honda has wmntioned multiplw times they will focus on reliabitly so they ahve turned the power down to not grenade the engine like the Red Bulls are doing, bauce eahc upgrade Honda brings will add a power unit component so they need to minimize loses now so that it wont be to much of a hassle with grid penalties.

4 RB cars finished the race today. 3 of the cars are racing on their 1st internal combustion engine and energy store. This must have disappointed you.

- RBPT is just as unreliable as Honda, but no vibrations and more power.

Go on, make something else up.

Well Alonso finished the race but i think he just did it cause its Japan and Honda. Any other track and he would have retired.

Alonso's onboards look great, the car is really balanced, well planted and well behaved. Just like you expect a F1 car to handle going 3 seconds a lap slower than it's limit. Basically looking at the onboards are a waste of time, most of the time.

So the fix for tolerable vibrations was, reducing the power to like 60%?

Lots of unknowns with a chassis that hasn't been pushed.

I think you should have posted it a sixth time, to really drive home the point.

I wouldn't put much on this. Alonso might be making things up due to boredom, or whatever.

I read all kinds of crazy stuff on here. It's so hard to shutdown the BS.

Looks like they've found a fix. Proved it's efficacy in FP2 on Fernando's car, vibrations dropped significantly, almost erased, as reported by Fernando, but on "reliability grounds" the team chose not to run what this fix is during subsequent sessions and the race itself.

Krack believes it has been identified and will be completely solved by Miami and this conversation won't need to happen again.

What was the pace and lap times of the Aston/Honda car during FP2 when they supposedly solved the vibrations issue ? How far off from Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren were they during FP2 ?

Hard to make direct comparisons as they were obviously testing things and it was also his first session in the car, different fuel levels, modes etc. But his FP2 long run average laptime was 1:37.5 which was faster than Sainz and Bottas. During the race, his average laptime dropped to 1:38.2, where everyone else's average improved.

But as mentioned, we can't really look at this like for like. He may of had reduced vibrations and nothing else was altered so laptime differences would be marginal and could be explained solely from unknown fuel loads, strategy and look maybe even just comfort to increase consistency. More than likely though, we can't make a direct comparison at this stage, far too little data.

Regardless, still light years off the front runners.

Maybe we should look this like, they will start testing and learning car now, instead of direct performance.

If what I read is correct, they said they tested a new component to address driver vibrations. I don't know if they're just referring to isolating the driver from the problem or if they found the source of the vibrations. I think they'll isolate the driver from the vibrations for Miami, and the definitive, performance-enhancing solution will come much later.

If so what is reliability concern mentioned in the article?

“We need to be honest that the performance deficit that we have, we have our part in that,” he said.

“We are not great in high speed corners. We are not on the weight limit. So there is stuff that we have to work on hard going forward. And if we can solve this, we will make steps forward at the same time.

“We know that Honda does not want to be where they are, so they are pushing as well, as much as they can. So I think both of us, we have a lot of work ahead, and I think we need to use these five weeks to make a step.”

Unfortunately they don't talk about how detuned they're running and how much more power can be expected once they do whatever they're doing to counter the vibrations.

Reading between the lines, it is not a real fix, just one for drivers' comfort. The engine cannot be run at full capacity.
