Overview

• Fernando Alonso finished fifth and Lance Stroll seventh at the Hungarian GP, delivering Aston Martin’s top weekend of the 2025 season and lifting them to sixth in the Constructors’ standings.
• Just seven days earlier at Spa-Francorchamps, the squad had been the slowest in qualifying, underscoring the scale of the performance swing.
• Former strategist Bernie Collins attributes the turnaround to a revised front wing design that enhanced airflow through the floor, diffuser and rear wing.
• Both Alonso and trackside boss Mike Krack highlight their uncertainty over the root cause of the speed gain, prompting cautious expectations for the season’s second half.
• Aston Martin’s collaboration with AI-driven data specialists has accelerated its upgrade cycle, but officials stress that real-world validation across circuits such as Zandvoort and Monza is vital.
