Aston Martin introduces major updates at Hungarian GP

Aston Martin has rolled out significant upgrades for their AMR26 car during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. Team Principal Adrian Newey indicated that the immediate goal is to achieve a point of respectability, following a challenging 2026 season thus far. In Free Practice 1, Fernando Alonso finished in 13th position, 2.4 seconds off the pace. Despite expressing initial promise, Newey noted that they are still learning about the updated package. Lance Stroll faced difficulties with a suspected rear-left suspension issue during practice, prompting further investigation by the team.
