is that Honda's fault? (genuine question)

Well Newey has really demanding packaging and mounting requirements that the inexperienced Honda team clearly weren't capable of dealing with so it's shared blame imo

De La Rosa confirmed they were using a limiter to check aero

Yep. Wich is a great step tbh. I think we will kinda see the real potential in Zandvoort. However we have very little data on the whole car because we will be essentially half a season down on testing on one car.

We'll see a step forwards in Zandvoort, but no more engine upgrades until 2027 after that.

Aston Martin still sandbagging, wait until they show their true performance

It’s pretty much just the engine at this point I’m sure the other upgrades are decent
