Aston Martin delays official F1 car upgrades until summer

Aston Martin remains the only Formula 1 team without major upgrades to its car since the March Japanese Grand Prix. The team plans to introduce significant updates no earlier than July.

The Adrian Newey-designed AMR26 has struggled for performance while competing with Cadillac at the back of the field. Reliability issues have also affected results, though the team reports improvement. Fernando Alonso achieved the squad's best results with 16th in sprint qualifying at the Canadian Grand Prix and 15th in both Miami races.
