Honda horsepower figures show the 2027 season is already a bust for Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin

Fernando Alonso has committed to Aston Martin for the 2027 season, but he remains critical of the Honda engine's performance. The team is reportedly 70 horsepower behind competitors like Mercedes, which has raised concerns about their competitiveness under the new Formula 1 regulations.

Despite the disappointing start to the season, Aston Martin intends to stick with Honda and evolve their current power unit. Alonso's worries about the engine's performance suggest that the team may struggle to compete at the front of the grid until significant improvements are made.
