Honda is set to finally deliver its upgraded power unit for Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll in an “important milestone” at the Dutch Grand Prix.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Aston Martin delivered its long-awaited chassis upgrades to the AMR26 last time out at the Hungarian GP, with Alonso making Q2 for the first time in the season in a boost to the team which has struggled with chassis and power unit issues throughout the first half of the season.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Honda engine upgrade was always planned to be delivered following on from the chassis upgrades, with the new design set to be introduced at Zandvoort, which is a Sprint weekend.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The upgraded power unit has already been tested on track at a filming day following the Hungarian GP, with trackside general manager, Orihara explaining that the introduction of the fresh design comes after an “intense period.”\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“The Dutch Grand Prix is an important milestone for Honda, as this is where we introduce our new spec power unit,” Orihara explained.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“This is the result of an intense period of hard work at HRC Sakura together with HRC UK and Aston Martin.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cZandvoort is a Sprint weekend, which means we only have a single free practice session.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“This will bring an additional challenge to complete the evaluation of our new package in that limited running, but it\u2019s a test we\u2019re looking forward to.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Hungary, we saw a step forward with the new chassis.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“With the new specification power unit now introduced, we look forward to building on that progress together with the team over the remainder of the season.”\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Honda is set to finally deliver its upgraded power unit for Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll in an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":862487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,2476,578,2479,2477,2480,2478,930,576,577,932,1885,2475,582,82],"class_list":["post-862486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
