Aston Martin's Struggles Unlikely to End Soon, Says Brundle

According to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle, Aston Martin's dismal start to the 2026 season is far from over. Despite the promising signing of design genius Adrian Newey and the partnership with Honda, the team has failed to impress, struggling to score points in the first three race weekends. The team's performance has been marred by a lack of speed and reliability, with their cars often finishing at the back of the pack. Brundle believes that the team's woes will persist, stating that it will be challenging to turn things around due to the relentless Formula 1 championship calendars and cost caps. He expects the team to continue struggling until 2027, describing their current situation as a 'horror show.' Aston Martin and Honda are working to improve their package, with a focus on resolving engine vibrations that have caused reliability issues. The team is also developing the AMR26 chassis, with Newey confident that it has promise once further upgrades are added. However, fellow commentator David Croft believes that the team's issues are a long-term project, requiring significant work and fine-tuning to resolve. He predicts that the team will struggle throughout the season until the chassis can accommodate the power unit and the power unit's vibrations are reduced.
