Nada más comenzar la sesión, Hamilton casi se come a Colapinto, que iba más que lento en plena recta.

Y prácticamente al mismo tiempo, Verstappen se quedaba parado en el pit lane y, de momento, no ha podido volver a salir.

Y el otro acontecimiento de la segunda sesión es que Fernando Alonso ¡a salido a pista!    ¡Y ha dado dos vueltas!

🚨Newey, sobre el motor Honda

🗣�"Esta temporada se trata, en primer lugar, de solucionar este problema de vibración para que podamos correr de manera confiable y, a partir de ahí, ver cuánto rendimiento pueden agregar al motor"

🗣�"Al mismo tiempo, Honda necesita empezar a trabajar en el motor del 27 , porque está claro que se necesita un gran avance en la potencia del motor de combustión para el 27 y ese tiene que ser su único enfoque"




Confirmando que esta es otra temporada perdida para Fernando  .

Tremendo esto. Los de Aston Martin se enteraron de los problemas de Honda el pasado noviembre. Cuando fueron a la fábrica se encontraron con que en el equipo había mucha gente nueva que nunca había trabajado en la F1. Los que estaban antes, se habían marchado a currar en paneles solares  .

Y claro, normal que todo esto le esté afectando a Fernando.



Alonso in 'hard mental place', says Newey

Aston Martin's dire start to the season has left Fernando Alonso in a "hard mental place", says team principal Adrian Newey.

Aston Martin are beset by continuing reliability problems with their Honda engine which are preventing any meaningful running.

The Spanish two-time world champion was not able to run in first practice for the Australian Grand Prix because of a problem with his Honda power-unit. Team-mate Lance Stroll could only manage three laps.

Alonso, 44, has already been in a similar situation with Honda at McLaren from 2015-17, when the engine was unreliable and uncompetitive for three years before the two parties split.

Newey said: "Fernando is one of the true greats. His ability, his talent, his all-round capability, he should have won, in truth, far more than the two championships he has to his name and however many races wins (32).

"I'm not sure how old he is. Nobody quite knows what his age is. But he's still super-quick, super-talented, super-sharp.

"Talking to him, he doesn't think he's suffering in any way. His eyesight is still very good. His reactions, he's very proud of the fact he was the fastest starter last year, in reaction time. So, he's an amazing person.

"We've been trying to contain our hopes because we knew this was going to be a difficult year, a build year. We started very late and on a very compressed cycle on the chassis side, but we knew that meant in the first half of the season we would be able to catch back up and we would very much have done without the distraction that's now caused.

"For Fernando, it's a hard mental place to be in at the moment."


Original Honda workforce went 'to work on solar panels or whatever'

Newey's Red Bull cars prevented Alonso winning at least two further championships, when he was at Ferrari in 2010 and 2012, and the two have long wanted to work together.

Aston Martin signed to become Honda's works partner in May 2023, while the Japanese company was in the course of four consecutive drivers' titles and two constructors' championships with Red Bull.

Newey, a design legend regarded as the finest aerodynamic engineer in F1 history, said Honda's problems were founded in its decision to quit F1 in 2021, only to change its mind on the basis of the new rules that are being introduced this year.

Newey, who joined Aston Martin in March last year, said he and the team did not know about Honda's problems until November, when he, team owner Lawrence Stroll and chief strategy officer Andy Cowell visited Honda's base in Tokyo "to discuss rumours" that the Japanese company "wouldn't achieve" their "original target power".

He added: "Out of that came the fact that many of the original workforce had not returned when they restarted.

"When they reformed, a lot of the original group had it now transpires disbanded and gone to work on solar panels or whatever.

"A lot of the group were new to F1 and didn't have the experience they had previous.

"Plus, when they came back in 2023 that was the first year of the budget cap for engines.

"All their rivals had been developing away through 2021-2022, with continuity, existing team and free of budget cap.

"They re-entered with, let's say, only, I'm guessing, 30% of their original base staff and now in a budget cap era so they started very much on the back foot and unfortunately they have not been able to catch up."

Así fue la salida de pista de Verstappen que le hizo perder cachos de su coche y perderse el resto de sesión.

Resultados entrenamientos LIBRES 2
Viernes, 6 de marzo de 2026


Oscar PIASTRI ha sido el más rápido en esta segunda sesión, con los Mercedes de Antonelli y Russell acabando tras él.

Los Ferrari ya no están al frente pero se quedan cerca ya que Hamilton ha finalizado 4º y 5º Leclerc.

A pesar de los problemas y perderse algo más de media sesión, Verstappen la conseguido acabar 6º, a 6 décimas de Piastri pero a menos de una de Leclerc.

Tras no haber podido rodar en la sesión anterior, Norris ha llevado un programa diferente a su compañero y ha terminado 7º, a un segundo.

Lindblad vuelve a tener un buen resultado al acabar 8º y, de nuevo, por delante de su compañero. Lawson ha terminado 13º, entre los Audi de Hülkenberg y Bortoleto.

Carlos SAINZ se ha perdido gran parte de la sesión por un problema en su coche. Ha terminado 17º, entre los Alpine de Gasly y Colapinto.

Los Aston Martin han conseguido rodar unas vueltecillas pero con muchos problemas. Fernando ALONSO ha rodado 18 y ha terminado 20º a casi 5 segundos de Piastri mientras que Stroll ha rodado 13 vueltas quedando 21º a 6 segundos.

La última posición ha sido para Checo Pérez, que tardó en salir por problemas en su coche y nada más hacerlo se quedó parado.

Ha sido una sesión más movidita ya que los pilotos han comenzado a exprimir algo más los límites, de ahí que hayamos visto bastantes salidas de pista y algunos problemas de fiabilidad.

[GoVal]

Así fue la «puesta de largo» de Alonso en esta temporada.
