纽维谈本田2026年进步令人失望及2027年前景
阿斯顿·马丁车队领队阿德里安·纽维在奥斯汀的FIA新闻发布会上表示，本田对2026年的进步幅度可能略感失望，但强调这只会坚定双方继续前进的决心。
在F1赛季初向媒体抛出一些关于本田的重磅言论后，阿斯顿·马丁车队领队阿德里安·纽维在周五奥斯汀的FIA新闻发布会上表现得更为谨慎。
尽管全程用词明显谨慎，纽维还是透露了足够的信息，既谈到本田2026年进展的“失望”，也谈到对明年的“希望”。
本田的ADUO升级——包括已引入的内燃机和涡轮改进——未能帮助阿斯顿·马丁稳定争夺积分，但一段时间以来外界也一直在谈论重心将放在2027年取得更大进展上。
不过纽维并不否认，从墨尔本揭幕战时那种糟糕的谷底来看，取得的进步或许没有他或本田希望的那么多。
当被 The Race 问及事情是否如本田所预期的那样取得进展时，纽维带着一丝苦笑，停顿了一下后说道：“我认为可以公平地说，本田可能对今年所取得的进展感到有些失望。”
“但一如既往，或者说在这种情况下经常发生的是，这只会坚定未来前进的决心。未来显然对两家公司都很重要。”
“他们非常坚定。这些事情不会一夜之间改变，但他们有很多优秀的人才，现在有很多良好的流程已经到位。”
纽维本可以轻易地将阿斯顿·马丁在赛季现阶段仍处境艰难的责任归咎于本田，但他显然急于不想搅乱局面。
相反，他表示已有数据可以用来找出阿斯顿·马丁-本田组合的弱点所在。
“就底盘和引擎之间的相对差距而言……这大概不该由我来说，”他说。“我认为如果人们查看数据，就能从中开始得到更清晰的图景。”
但在告诉人们去哪里寻找当前发生的情况的同时，他也谈到了对未来的希望。
“本田显然在努力工作，”他说。“众所周知，他们是一家伟大的公司，能够成就伟业，过去已多次证明这一点。我们正与他们紧密合作，因此对未来抱有希望。”
本田看起来将在明年对其动力单元设计进行改造，这是规则调整的一部分，涉及燃油流量提高和增压压力提升。
纽维确实暗示了本田位于日本樱花的基地在2027年筹备方面取得的进展。
他说：“现在有很多能量和项目正在推进，这些或许还处于开发的早期阶段，但我们从中看到了很大的希望。”
“现在要评论动力单元在赛季初究竟会处于什么水平还为时过早，也无法判断届时——假设动力单元咨询委员会（PUAC）允许——是否会在第一段赛程结束时的第八场比赛前有进一步的开发。”
后一条评论表明，更多额外开发与升级机会步骤即将到来，本田今年巨大的差距使得2027年无论下赛季开局表现如何，都能获得两次额外的认证升级机会。

After dropping some Honda bombshells in front of the media at the start of the Formula 1 season, Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey was more on message when he appeared in Friday's FIA press conference at Austin.
But despite a clearly cautious choice of words throughout, Newey gave enough away about both the 'disappointment' of Honda's 2026 progress and the "hope" of what's to come next year.
Honda's ADUO updates - both the internal combustion engine and turbo steps that have been introduced - have fallen short of being able to help Aston Martin fight regularly for points, but equally talk for a while now has been about the focus being on bigger progress in 2027.
There was no denying from Newey though that, from the depths of how bad things were back at the season opener in Melbourne, steps forward had perhaps not been as much as he nor Honda wanted.
Asked by The Race about if things had moved forward as much as Honda had anticipated, Newey - with a wry smile, and after a pause - said: "I think it's fair to say that Honda have probably been a little bit disappointed with how much progress they have managed to make this year.
"But as always, or as is so often the case in that situation, it only strengthens resolve to go forward in the future. The future is obviously the important bit for both companies.
"They are very determined. These things don't change overnight, but they have a lot of good people, a lot of good processes now in place."
Newey could easily have pointed the finger at Honda over the fact things remain difficult for Aston Martin at this stage of the campaign, but he was clearly eager not to rock the boat.
Instead, he said the data was available to work out where the weakness was in the Aston Martin-Honda package.
"[In terms of] relative deficit between chassis and engine...it's probably not for me to say," he said. "I think if people look at the GPS [data], then you can start to get a much better picture from that."
But while telling people where to look for what was happening now, he talked of hope for the future.
"Honda obviously are working hard," he said. "They're a great company, as we all know, capable of great things, as they've proved many times in the past. We are working closely with them, and so [are] hopeful of the future."
Honda looks set to revamp its power unit design for next year as part of a reshuffle of the rules that involves the fuel-flow rate increasing and boost pressure being lifted.
Newey certainly hinted at progress coming out of Honda's Sakura base in Japan about what was being lined up for 2027.
"There's a lot of energy and projects on the way now that perhaps are in their early stages of development, but we see a lot of promise from those," he said.
"It's too early to comment on exactly where the power unit will be at the start of the season and whether then, assuming it's allowed under the PUAC [Power Unit Advisory Committee], there will be a further development for what will be race eight at the end of the first period.”
That latter comment suggests more ADUO steps are in the offing, with Honda's large deficit this year allowing two further homologation upgrade opportunities in 2027 irrespective of how well it starts next season.
