Aston Martin anticipates significant performance enhancements with its upgrade package debuting at the Hungarian Grand Prix. This follows a disappointing performance at the Belgian GP, where Fernando Alonso finished last and teammate Lance Stroll retired due to gearbox issues.

The full impact of the upgrades will not be clear until the introduction of a new Honda power unit after the summer break.
