Aston Martin Aramco Honda Breaks Drought with First 2026 F1 Points at Monaco GP

A long-awaited sigh of relief for the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team. After stumbling through the opening five rounds of the 2026 Formula 1 season, they finally found some respite in the grueling Monaco Grand Prix. On June 7, 2026, Fernando Alonso brought home a valuable point, marking a crucial milestone for the Honda-powered team.

This breakthrough came thanks to a post-race penalty imposed on Sergio Perez of Cadillac, pushing Alonso up to 10th place and securing their first points of the season.

No one expected much from Aston Martin at Monaco, even with their eye-catching special livery, a collaboration with principal partner Ma'aden. Despite their best efforts, the AMR26 struggled to keep pace with its rivals during practice and qualifying. Alonso admitted their car wasn't fast enough to compete on the middle grid.

But as is often seen in Monaco, a chaotic race creates unexpected opportunities for underdogs. Alonso demonstrated his skill and perseverance, navigating 78 laps without incident to claim a vital 10th position after the official results were revised.

This achievement carries special significance as it marks the first points scored by Aston Martin and Honda in their partnership under the new 2026 F1 regulations.

Aston Martin will unleash a major upgrade to their AMR26 at the upcoming Grand Prix of Barcelona or at the latest, the Austrian Grand Prix. This move aims to bridge the gap between them and the top teams.
