Aston Martin Honda suffers aerodynamic failure at British Grand Prix

At the 2026 British Grand Prix in Silverstone, the Aston Martin Honda AMR26 displayed severe handling problems. Drivers, including Lance Stroll, reported that the car would not turn into high‑speed corners, describing an extreme under‑steer that felt “aerodynamically broken.” The issue caused Stroll to lock the steering fully and struggle to stay on track, leading to six track‑limit violations and a 15‑second time penalty. The car’s lack of grip also disrupted energy‑management strategies, as the expected aerodynamic performance was not achieved.

Stroll summed up the situation, saying the car behaved as if it were “broken,” with the aerodynamic failure making it impossible to maintain speed through Silverstone’s fast corners.
