  • Fernando Alonso calls for Aston Martin investigation into ‘very bad’ Honda engine issues

    After finishing 17th at the Madring Spanish Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso said Aston Martin must analyse a ‘very bad’ engine experience linked to boost-control and driveability problems. Alonso’s comments follow race data and driver sensations that hampered recovery after slowdowns and raise fresh pressure on both Aston Martin and Honda to diagnose recurring power‑unit faults.

  • Rival teams and FIA back talks to consider extra development help for Honda

    Senior figures at Mercedes and Red Bull signalled support for discussing the regulations around catch‑up development that could aid Honda, while Honda itself emphasised engineering work remains the priority.

  • Fernando Alonso leaves Aston Martin future 'not coming soon', decision to hinge on 2027 rules

    Fernando Alonso said a decision about whether he will remain with Aston Martin beyond 2026 "will not come soon", citing frustration with the 2026 regulations and the impact of planned 2027 power‑unit tweaks on his choice. Aston Martin officials say they respect Alonso’s timeline and hope for a resolution but have not announced a contract extension. This prolongs driver-lineup uncertainty for the team ahead of 2027 planning and Adrian Newey’s rebuild.

    Official Spanish Grand Prix classification shows Lance Stroll retired on lap 14 (DNF) and Fernando Alonso finished 17th, leaving Aston Martin without additional points and sitting near the bottom of the constructors' standings.

  • Stroll reports floor damage then long brake pedal before Madrid retirement

    Lance Stroll told media he sustained opening‑lap floor damage and later developed a long brake pedal that caused lock‑ups and forced retirement at turn 20, highlighting both contact damage and a brake‑related reliability/safety issue for Aston Martin during the race. This gives a technical account of the retirement that the team will need to investigate ahead of Baku.
