Aston Martin limits F1 runs to 25 laps to shield drivers from nerve-damaging vibrations
Aston Martin’s Honda-powered AMR26 suffers severe engine vibrations that could cause permanent nerve damage in Fernando Alonso’s and Lance Stroll’s hands, forcing the team to cap Alonso’s running at about 25 laps (roughly 15 for Stroll) in Australia and keep laps heavily restricted until the vibration is addressed at the source, with no clear fix timeline amid ongoing reliability issues.
