The reputable The Race portal has identified a number of significant risks that could hinder the success of the British Aston Martin team in the 2026 Formula 1 season.
Idman.Biz reports that the main concern is the potential backwardness of Honda's engine.
One of the issues is that Honda interprets the rules more cautiously than its rivals Mercedes and Red Bull. In addition, the Japanese manufacturer has restarted its engine division after officially leaving Formula 1 at the end of 2021. In addition, the engine is being funded by Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll, not Honda, who is unwilling to make as large an investment as he did when he moved from McLaren to Red Bull.
There are also concerns about engine battery technology delays. There are also concerns that Aston Martin's fuel will be supplied by Aramco, a newcomer to F1 with no experience producing it and adapting it to championship cars.
