Aston Martin confirms this: The stressful data featuring the problem they should solve for Alonso in 2026

Aston Martin confirmed this in the results of its classification at the Miami GP of F1 2025. The team not only posted a surprising collapse of the results of 2023, but also pure performance. That is, it not only improved less than its opponents, losing grill positions, but, as the Miami data showed, it was a slow car, something unacceptable -accepted in the last year of a period of regulations.

The normal thing in F1 is that, as the years pass by without changes to the technical policies of F1, the equipment changes, with more or less successful pieces on the track (they do not always work), but in the long run, an improvement in Chrono is always visible. That’s what all teams show in their ‘Quali’ Times in Miami from the 2023 course. Less than one: Aston Martin. But the comparison with Cronos of 2024 is also noteworthy.

At the time of comparison of 2023 and 2025 in the session against Florida’s Chrono, Silverstone’s team was just one, with the best ‘Quality’ time on Saturday, deteriorating with respect to the best time of 2023 on the same track.

It is true that it is difficult to make a direct and accurate comparison, as asphalt conditions can vary, even the wheels, because in Miami this Pirelli course has brought a rubber a softer point than previous occasions. But it does not serve as a reason When The rest of the sets, without exception, can improve their time comfortably with respect to the best chronos signed by each team in class 2023. In fact, Half the grill can develop for more than a second. Aston Martin worsens in half a second.

In that sense, there is another amazing note: Aston Martin’s 2023 car is not a classifier car, but its main force is its racing rhythm, so the difference can be bigger.

But that’s not all. Remembering is what can be seen in comparison of the best Chronos that each team has achieved in the classification of 2024 and 2025, played on the same track of Miami. It should be noted that Aston Martin’s 2024 car failed and his difference with respect to 2023 was greater, though he started the course with better performance performance than his poor career rhythm. 2025 car manages to improve the time its predecessor achieved last yeargiving Aston Martin a reason, defending that they have improved their vehicle with respect to the 2024 course. But it is also more than clear that the improvement of the green team is less than it should be. This is the set less.

Solved the problem by 2026?

These data speaks for one of the major problems that should be solved Aston Martin for 2026: They should be sure they can make a difference in the development of their vehicle And, not only knows how to improve a car, but do it in the rhythm of the best.

2026 is the first Aston Martin of Adrian Newey’s F1 And, regardless of creating a competitive car base, if the team wants to fight all about the best sets, The car should also sprout at the same rate as good factories. And if they don’t start to win, they will also need the best evolution to gradually approach the successes.

Maybe, maybe, The problem with the current car is because Aston Martin used the Mercedes wind tunnel until this yearBefore this course began to operate its own air tunnel, a new and maximum technology installation where equipment believes they can create fast cars. Or maybe this is the result of a bad work by Dan Fallows and the rest of the team design.

The other key is that 2025 is not an Adrian Newey car.

The New Period of Regulations is designed by Adrian Newey, the best car -historian designand He should be the brain that leads the evolution of that and subsequent monoplays. Perhaps those two points will solve problems with these people. The answer will be monitored.
