Everything can change for Aston Martin in 2026. Everything can change in what, for now, will be the last year by Fernando Alonso both in the team and in F1. This could change due to new regulations. For the engine Sling. Because, of course, Adrian Newey’s signature. Because they count, they will count on the great guru. With whom he created champion cars. With the proper name after all the Red Bull titles of this century.
For now, yes, he is doing what he needs to do. It is time to see the two-time champion fight with a car that is far from what it was in 2023. A car that Lance Stroll complained during first free practice from Baku. The one with whom one has to look more in the rearview mirror than would be desirable.
Alonso, for his part, scores the points he can. He takes full advantage of them, as he has always done with everything he has had to drive. And without losing confidence or motivation, looking towards a more than beautiful future given the movements What Aston Martin does.
“Alonso is better than his results”

Because it is clear: “It is better than his results of 2024. He is an incredible driver, and keep beating Stroll even if the margin is narrower.”
Newey says: “Adrian is incredible when it comes to understanding what the car or the driver needs. As a project manager, he was unbeatable.”
