Honda chief says Aston Martin unlikely to leap ahead at Miami

HondaF1 chief Shintaro Orihara warned that Aston Martin will not see major performance gains at the Miami Grand Prix, citing persistent vibration problems in the AMR26.

Orihara said the team’s work on vibration reduction will not translate into a noticeable power unit boost on track, so Miami is expected to see little improvement for Aston Martin. The AMR26 has struggled with harsh vibrations affecting drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, and the team remains at the bottom of the standings after three rounds. truewildgame.com
