Honda probes reported Stroll battery DNFs

Motorsport.com reported Honda is investigating Lance Stroll’s battery-related retirements after his latest Brazilian Grand Prix DNF for Aston Martin.

Motorsport.com reported that Honda is investigating the cause of Lance Stroll’s battery-related retirements after another DNF for the Aston Martin driver in the Brazilian Grand Prix. The outlet said Stroll stopped after 30 laps while running 18th, 28 seconds behind team-mate Fernando Alonso in 12th.

The issue remains unconfirmed beyond that report. Stroll is 22nd in the 2026 drivers’ championship on 0 points, and the Brazilian Grand Prix added to a season that has brought several retirements. He has entered 200 Formula 1 Grands Prix, with one pole position, three podiums and a best finish of third.

For Aston Martin, the report raises another reliability question as the team continues to chase its first Formula 1 race win and first constructors’ title.
