Aston Martin's Struggles Expected to Continue

According to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle, Aston Martin's current struggles in the 2026 season are far from over. The team has had a disastrous start to the new era of rules, failing to score a point in the first three races. Despite the high expectations surrounding the signing of design genius Adrian Newey and the partnership with Honda, the team has been unable to deliver, with Fernando Alonso's 18th-place finish in Japan being the only time one of their cars has completed a full Grand Prix. Brundle believes that the team's issues, including a lack of speed and reliability, will take time to resolve and that it's unlikely they will improve significantly until 2027. The team is working to address the engine vibrations that have caused reliability problems, but it's a long-term project that will require patience and perseverance. Fellow commentator David Croft agrees, stating that the team will struggle all season until they can accommodate the power unit and reduce the vibrations. With the Miami Grand Prix approaching, Aston Martin will be looking to make progress, but it's unlikely they will score a point anytime soon.
