Summary
Aston Martin used its first of five 2026 curfew exemptions after working late to ready a heavily upgraded B-spec car for Friday practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The team broke curfew because delays had held up the package's arrival in Hungary, leaving extra preparation work before FP1 at the Hungaroring.
Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will use the revised car this weekend, making Aston Martin's performance one of the main early storylines of Round 10.
The session opens a key weekend before the summer break, with Kimi Antonelli carrying a 45-point championship lead into Hungary.
