Aston Martin F1 Team

Fernando Alonso will start the Barcelona Grand Prix from the pit lane after Aston Martin changed power unit components on his car under parc fermé. The home favourite faces a long afternoon in what may be his final Formula 1 race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Fernando Alonso leaves his Formula 1 future open after Barcelona, amid growing paddock talk of a one-year Alpine return in 2027 and doubts over Aston Martin’s project.

Aston Martin is actively working to resolve the significant cockpit discomfort experienced by Fernando Alonso, which led to his early withdrawal from the Canadian Grand Prix. The team has implemented adjustments ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.
