Stroll criticises updated Honda power unit after Dutch GP qualifying
Multiple reports said Aston Martin faced problems with Honda’s updated power unit after qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix. Lance Stroll said the changes helped only slightly and were still far from sufficient.
Following qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix, Aston Martin’s updated Honda power unit drew criticism in reports from multiple Formula 1 outlets.
Lance Stroll gave a blunt assessment of the upgrade, saying it improved things "maybe a bit, but not nearly enough." Crash.net also reported wider frustration around the package, describing the situation as "a lottery" and saying the team had been dealing with "a lot of issues" with the new engine.
Taken together, the reports point to limited confidence in the updated Honda unit after the Dutch GP qualifying session.
