Aston Martin et Honda constatent des progrès en matière de fiabilité de l'unité de puissance F1

Les pilotes Aston Martin ont terminé à la fois le sprint et la course principale lors du Grand Prix de Miami pour la première fois cette saison, après que des correctifs ont résolu les problèmes de vibration de l'unité de puissance Honda. L'équipe avait rencontré des problèmes de fiabilité plus tôt dans l'année, mais a montré une nette amélioration en Floride. Fernando Alonso et Lance Stroll ont tous deux terminé le week-end sans incident majeur.

Le passage aux moteurs Honda a créé des défis inattendus pour Aston Martin au début de la saison 2026. Des vibrations ont endommagé à plusieurs reprises les batteries et affecté les pilotes lors des trois premiers Grands Prix, ne permettant qu'un seul classement officiel et provoquant de multiples abandons. Une voiture est restée au Japon après l'épreuve de Suzuka afin que les ingénieurs puissent étudier les problèmes pendant la pause de cinq semaines en avril.
