Trick to ‘buy’ patience?
The Dutch GP saw the debut of the updated Honda power unit which did not meet expectations. According to AutoRacer.it, of the promised 30 horsepower the gain was just 17, even with a significant sacrifice in drivability.
Speculation has already started circulating from Spain that Aston Martin is already negotiating to change power unit supplier, with Mercedes as the prime suspect.
According to Marc Limacher of Business Book, furthermore, Lawrence Stroll wants Honda to pay Fernando Alonso’s future salary. The two-time world champion is asking for 40 million euros for 2027 and 2028.

Lawrence Stroll’s vision is clear: from his point of view Honda should ‘buy’ patience by substantially contributing to the team’s budget while waiting for the Japanese power unit to be competitive enough to aim for the targets that were originally set for 2026.
