2026 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team

Bad vibrations.

[GoranF1]

Last 2 or 3 laps Alonso couldn't hold the steering wheel.....even compared to Cadillac car lacks so much power.....in the corners so much faster then them.
Honda bullshit.

[Rikrikrik]

Or they change the engine next year or they will suffer another 2 or 3 year until solve those problems. The Honda's engie barely ridiculous. Honda should be penalty for delivered a dangerous and out of the acceptable work.

Hey a delusional take, this could basically (almost definitely allow) a FIA based on Medical Safety intervention rules allowing Honda to upgrade without ADUO for Japan if they have to break a Homologation seal in the name of solving vibrations. Other teams can't oppose this anymore as there is on video proof and maybe Aston will supply a medical proof as well.

And what good will that do? They probably don't even know what to do to improve things.

They have the upgrade ready for Japan but there have been talks that they won't be able to fit all the upgrades especially on the driveshaft (so that they can get higher rpm reliably but would be fit on the pretext of vibrations) due to it breaking a Homologation seal but now they can fit it. OR.......

Alonso just couldn't give a crap anymore and said screw it, reliability is good nothing more to learn, I'ma retire......

Also want to mentions somethings before we go to Japan
- Mercedes are running at full power now after the sprint race scare thus the massive gap to Ferrari. But customer teams are still on 3.5 on a five scale (As mentioned by Mercedes).
- RBPT is just as unreliable as Honda, but no vibrations and more power.
- Pirelli is secretly Bridgestone

Alonso the "GP2 Engine" v2 : "I hope they've broadcast this lap".

[krich]

This is embarrasing, FIA will allow Honda to get their --- together, watching those laps was really painful with alonso taking his hands of steering wheel. It’s a serious medical risk

[cplchanb]

on a positive note.... both astons finished AHEAD OF BOTH MCLARENS in the classifications!

We have no idea how much power Honda engine has simply because they haven't run it at 100% yet. Their problems are excessive vibrations, which cause all the problems, nothing else has ever been confirmed.

i'd rather them run the engine at the maximum and see how long it lasts. even if finishing a race is an objective. they're not learning much trundling around a lot slower than everyone else

It looks like honda so called fixes is about preventing batteries from being damaged by vibration.they say the pu is vibrating normally on the dyno and they never had such problems with redbull.so if the vibration are to be completely eliminated then Aston will also have to make changes to their chassis.

Not possible without the drivers getting nerve damage within 2 laps

Alonso Hands Off China GP
