The Race F1 Podcast · What next for Aston Martin, Alonso and Honda after big F1 leap? · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

Was it first race of the year? voice-verified

Yeah, first race of the year where he said, oh, this is the fifth best chassis. voice-verified

And obviously, definitely with development after that, it wasn't, even if it was the fifth best at the time. voice-verified

But now it is on a trajectory where you could say, oh, it might be with the Zanvar upgrade and with the backer upgrade, it could be in a position where that chassis is midfield leading. voice-verified

Clearly the engine is not, you know, Aston's clearly got rid of the worst car, definitely still has the worst engine. voice-verified

I mean, apparently it could be around 80 to 90, voice-verified

very close power down so you're just looking for at least a third of that or at least a quarter or just you know just something to chip away at that because like john says it's gonna be really obvious like the first thing i think we'll all be doing after practice is looking at the telemetry traces and looking at that run out of the final corner down to turn one because it's going to be really obvious if you want a fun comparison just compare them to cadillac voice-verified

the hungar ring because that is probably you know the weakest chassis but with a half decent engine so just look at the traces there because it is blindingly obvious how much that time that Aston makes up in the corners and how much it loses on the straights so yeah there'll be nowhere to hide and it really really needs to deliver on its side of the bargain because the chassis is looking good and there could be voice-verified

a really respectable end to the season here where Aston could score points on a semi-regular basis, but is it entirely dependent on whether or not Honda makes that step forward? voice-verified

Yeah, I think if you put a Mercedes power unit in the back of it, which is always a horrible sort of question because that's not quite how F1 cars work. voice-verified

You can't just swap in and out engines. voice-verified

But I think, yeah, you'd have to say it probably would be pretty close to the top of the midfield. voice-verified

So, you know, the deficit is clear. voice-verified

I mean, yeah, with a Mercedes engine around the hungar ring, I mean, maybe it would have been in that fight with Audi in the racing pools. voice-verified

I think that would probably be fair to say just because it is losing so much time to that. voice-verified

honda power unit so uh yeah there needs to be an improvement there it's funny though isn't it because they've had such a bad start to the season so much of f1 is just seeming like you're going in the right direction so it does seem like that has been a good step how they started there at the start of the year and then just sort of bobbled around and not really made massive improvement when the perspective would be quite different and if they do finish the end of the year if they do finish you know the end of the year at the front of the midfield then voice-verified

the expectations will then be raised that they make another step for next year and close on that gap or join the fight at the front which won't really be a realistic expectation and it's something that the likes of Renault always used to bobble up and kind of up the top against because they get to the front of the midfield and I would always find that kind of breaching that gap to the top teams was always too difficult because it is worth saying there is an absolutely massive gulf between the top of the midfield and those top teams and winning races and championships so voice-verified

Even if Aston does get to the front of that by the end of the year, they've still got to find over a second of lap time to even get to the front of the pack. voice-verified

that would be a nonsense wouldn't it I'm going to rule out 99.9% that would be a nonsense move and that would go against everything Alonso's about you know he's a competitive animal he wants to win in Formula 1 he's all about racing his best shot at doing anything results wise in F1 is to stick with an Adrian Nui car that's got the highest ceiling and voice-verified

And that's what I agree with John. voice-verified
