Aston Martin's Hungary upgrade finds two seconds per lap, ends Alonso's Q1 drought

Aston Martin's 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix upgrade delivered roughly two seconds per lap through aero changes and weight-saving, lifting Alonso out of Q1 for the first time all season. Per the BBC, it was the first upgrade in three years showing the team's factory could produce on-track gains. The result matters with Alonso's contract expiring and Honda's new engine due at Zandvoort.
