Good news for Alonso and Stroll: this is when Honda will deliver its power unit update

Aston Martin has experienced a difficult start its partnership with Honda in Formula 1, as the team has scored a single point so far this season in Monaco with Fernando Alonso.

Ohitara, Honda's Trackside General Manager and Chief Engineer outlined a timeline to GPblog, among others. He said: "I kept saying summer, but that may be a boring answer. So I would say our target is the Netherlands. So we are working hard to complete our job list to achieve bringing new power into the Netherlands. That is our target.

Thanks to ADUO, Honda can use so-called "jokers" to update its power unit. These do not carry over to next season. Asked about how many jokers would be used by Zandvoort, Ohitara added: "I can't explain in detail how many, but we have a big list, so we will bring many updates to the Netherlands, so I can't say how many, but quite big parts we will modify."

Speaking on the latest episode of Aston Martin's Undercut, team principal Adrian Newey explained the team's plans to introduce changes to the car's chassis as well.
