Aston Martin / Honda – Is the dream already fading?

Or perhaps good old Toto, in a fit of generosity, volunteers to take a stake in Aston Martin in exchange for a "customer" version of a Mercedes engine, all while siphoning off Adrian's ideas! 😅

2026 is going to seem like a long year at Silverstone!! How patient is Stroll Senior, especially since the Aston Martin brand is doing rather poorly?

Unless a miracle happens, I don't see a way! The only way to save the season is to rebuild a modified car and put in the Mercedes engine… Regrettable for our friend Fernando and Adrian… and the whole team. alainkf1@pt.lu 😎🛞👎
