Aston Martin's Struggles Expected to Continue

According to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle, Aston Martin's dismal start to the 2026 season is far from over. Despite the promising partnership with design genius Adrian Newey and Honda, the team has failed to impress, with their best finish being Fernando Alonso's 18th place in Japan. Brundle believes that the team's lack of speed and reliability will take time to resolve, and it may not improve until 2027. The team is currently struggling to score points, with Lance Stroll joking that they are competing in their own 'Aston Martin championship'. Brundle emphasizes that the team needs to address its issues, including engine vibrations, and get the right people in place at Honda. With a long-term project ahead, Aston Martin is expected to face a challenging season, and it may be a while before they can turn their fortunes around.
