Aston Martin reporte les mises à jour officielles de sa voiture de F1 à l'été

Aston Martin reste la seule écurie de Formule 1 à n'avoir apporté aucune mise à jour majeure sur sa voiture depuis le Grand Prix du Japon en mars. L'équipe prévoit d'introduire des changements significatifs au plus tôt en juillet.

L'AMR26, conçue par Adrian Newey, a peiné en termes de performance tout en étant à la lutte avec Cadillac en fond de classement. Des problèmes de fiabilité ont également entravé les résultats, bien que l'équipe signale des améliorations. Fernando Alonso a décroché les meilleurs résultats de l'écurie avec une 16e place lors des qualifications sprint du Grand Prix du Canada et une 15e place lors des deux courses à Miami.
