Welcome back to F1 Grandstand for your daily F1 news and Formula 1 updates. Tony Craig has the latest Formula 1 News.🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 Today’s biggest story is a huge Aston Martin power struggle. Adrian Newey has reportedly opposed Christian Horner joining Aston Martin after Lawrence Stroll held talks this week, raising big questions about who is really in control behind the scenes at the team. With Aston Martin still searching for the right leadership structure, this is becoming one of the biggest political stories in Formula 1 right now.  We also get into the latest on Jonathan Wheatley, with fresh reporting suggesting Audi may not make it easy for Aston Martin to land him, which could force Newey to remain in charge for even longer than expected. That makes this leadership story even more dramatic heading into the next phase of the 2026 season.  There is more to cover too. McLaren say they found a surprising breakthrough despite their horror double DNF, Lando Norris has pushed back on the latest Lewis Hamilton theory about Mercedes engine “party mode”, and James Vowles admits overweight Williams desperately need the April break to recover.  We also look at fresh Red Bull reaction, as Laurent Mekies insists “worried” is the wrong word for how Red Bull feel about Mercedes dominance right now, even as the pressure continues to build around the 2026 order.
