Azerbaijan Grand Prix: Race team notes - Aston Martin

NEWS STORY
26/09/2026

Fernando Alonso: "Unfortunately, we had to retire the car as we seemed to be losing a lot of time on the straights and so we need to analyse this further.

"We knew this weekend wasn't going to be a strong one for us and it proved to be the case. It's where we are right now and let's see if we can have a stronger weekend in Malaysia."

Lance Stroll: "We had a water pressure issue, so I was told to stop the car. It's been another tough week, but we know the situation we are dealing with this year. There aren't many positives to take away. The focus is on improving these issues for the upcoming races and as we look further ahead to 2027."

Mike Krack: "There was not a huge amount to fight for today with our pace on this circuit. Lance's race ended early on lap eight with a water pressure issue and we asked him to stop the car. Fernando reported suspected PU issues and was losing some time on the straights before he retired on lap 20. We will analyse and regroup in time for our visit to Sepang next week."

"This team's performance this year is among the worst in the last decade. Maybe passing over Horner was a huge mistake."
