The vibrations, believed to originate from the Honda power unit, have already caused major reliability problems during testing and could even limit how many laps Alonso and Lance Stroll can complete during the race weekend. We break down what Adrian Newey has revealed about the issue, why the team may need to restrict running in Melbourne, and whether Aston Martin can realistically finish the race distance if the vibration problem is not fixed. Elsewhere in today’s Formula 1 news, Max Verstappen has dismissed a suggestion regarding the direction of the sport, saying it may simply be too late for changes now that the new regulations are in place. Ferrari are also in the spotlight ahead of the Australian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton spoke openly during the Melbourne press conference, discussing his motivation with Ferrari and even revealing he does not plan to retire until Formula 1 returns to Africa. Meanwhile Charles Leclerc has played down talk of Hamilton’s Ferrari reset, insisting the seven time world champion is simply excited about the new challenge.
