Fernando Alonso has laid bare the energy problem facing the 2026 cars at Spa, and delivered a damning verdict on their power. "Silverstone and Spa, they are very thirsty on energy and you cannot deploy on all the straights," Alonso explained. "If you deploy at Spa from Turn 1 to 5, finito for the rest of the lap." "And with no deployment at all, we cannot forget that this year we have significantly less power than last year and less power than F2." The FIA has confirmed five Straight Mode zones at Spa for the Belgian Grand Prix, the most since the season opener in Australia, with an Overtake Mode power boost available on the start/finish straight when within one second of the car ahead. 📸📰 via PlanetF1 #F1 #BelgianGP #Alonso #AstonMartin
