2026 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team

don't understand how can Honda engine have problem for each and every race, after the upgraded spec engine, the problem seems to be popping up at every race.
They are going to redesign the engine for next year. seeing the current trend, even if they try to match Audi Engine, i doubt Honda will be able to finish both cars in the race for majority of the races for the next year.
Had high hopes from AMR this year and was hoping for better 2027, it will be another struggle.
It is high time AMR start looking for alternative engine.

Alonso's had some drivability issues ...He not really had PU reliability problems.

Isnt drivability linked to Honda PU, the software etc..

Funny that F2 Cars are doing speeds matching F1 Cars. Not just the AMR but also others. These regs are a joke

Seems the new engine on Alonso car is already kaput, maybe they need go back to old engine or new one.
Dont know what to make out of this situation.

AMR took a big gamble with Honda. It failed.
Now, indeed they need to think quickly.
- They have Newey, good technical installation.
- There is a good chance that they will quickly do a good chassis
- But the engine won't be good

So for them is the question of 2030. Will Honda stay, commit to and do something good for 2030 ?
Who will be the driver then ? I love ALO but of course in 2030 he will be retired.

They currently are on a Toyota like trajectory, tons of money to withdraw at the end and sell the whole F1 team

In the other hand: Who can give an engine to Aston ? I only see RBPT but they have no capacity to provide a third team

They’re going to wait and see what Honda delivers in 2027; I’m sure Lawrence has already sounded out other suppliers, and if Honda isn’t at least on par with the Audi engine by the 2027 pre-season, we’ll already be hearing rumors about a switch. Lawrence isn’t going to remain dependent on Honda, and I also doubt he’ll just wait around and pin his hopes on Honda for 2030.Honda's work borders on the unacceptable.

No chance of this..., but in another reality, they get a special dispensation to run a 2025 spec Honda RBPT PU with overall output limitations.
