Honda is preparing for the debut of the updated AMR26.

      At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Aston Martin will bring an updated AMR26 car, which the team has high hopes for. Chief engineer and head of the Honda Racing team, Shintaro Orihara, stated that the first session of free practice will be dedicated to integrating the power unit into the new chassis.

      Shintaro Orihara: "The main theme of the Hungarian Grand Prix will be the appearance of the updated chassis for Aston Martin. We are closely collaborating with the team and assisting with the integration of the power unit, so the first practice will be very important for checking the operation of all systems.

      Hungaroring has less stringent requirements for the power unit, so even despite the absence of our B-spec engine in Hungary, we can expect higher efficiency.

      Additionally, it is usually hot in Hungary, so at the beginning of the weekend, we will also need to check the cooling system's performance."
