Stroll on Aston Martin's aerodynamic stalling problem
Lance Stroll says Aston Martin’s AMR26 is suffering aerodynamic stalling that leaves him “completely” washing out in high-speed corners, after a viral video showed him taking Silverstone’s Copse and Maggots-Becketts with extreme steering lock. Stroll said: "We have entry instability in braking and medium-low speed, and then we have this kind of aero stalling — that kind of front-of-floor, front-wing stalling — where we just completely wash out in high-speed corners. So, a few limitations."

Alonso given Belgian GP grid penalty
Fernando Alonso has been given a grid penalty for this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix after Aston Martin fitted a new energy store and control electronics to his car at Spa-Francorchamps. Both are Alonso’s fourth units of the season, exceeding the three-per-component limit. Alonso is the fourth driver to be penalised for using extra power unit elements, with Lando Norris set for a 10-place drop and Isack Hadjar due to start at the back of the grid alongside Alonso and team-mate Lance Stroll.

Norris on overtaking concerns after Belgian GP grid penalty
Lando Norris says McLaren will have to “wait and see” how overtaking plays out at the Belgian Grand Prix as he looks to limit the damage from a 10-place grid penalty after the team changed the power electronic unit. Norris said: "We will have to wait and see how the overtaking is. Most people would deploy basically the whole battery to Turn 5, and you would go from pretty much 100 percent battery to zero, so there is not much use for the battery, so we have to wait and see. We probably have a small straight-line speed advantage compared to the people a little further back, so we should have a good chance. But just to overtake in general, I think it could be pretty difficult here."
