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. The team's struggles, despite having design genius Adrian Newey and Honda as their works engine partner, have been a major letdown. With their cars failing to score a point in the first three race weekends, Brundle believes it will take time to resolve their issues. Aston Martin's drivers, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, have had a tough time, with their best finish being 18th place in Japan. Brundle described their situation as a 'horror show' and expects it to continue until 2027. The team faces a daunting task in improving their speed and reliability, especially with the current cost caps and relentless championship calendars. Brundle noted that Aston Martin is missing out on three to four seconds per lap, which is a significant gap to bridge. While the team is working hard to improve their package, including addressing engine vibrations, it will be a while before they can catch up with the front runners.
