Cautious outlook on Honda support measures

According to Crash.net, Aston Martin and Honda have been tight-lipped when questioned about reliability upgrades brought to the Miami Grand Prix, limiting expectations around what the countermeasures might deliver on track.

Marca reported that a vote that could have provided greater improvement to the Japanese power unit supplier has been suspended, meaning the AMR26 will not receive that additional boost. The suspension of this measure represents a setback in securing extra support for Honda's development programme during the 2026 season.
