Jenson Button believes visible progress at Aston Martin will help keep Fernando Alonso motivated. The 2009 world champion and Aston Martin ambassador said Alonso probably knows he will not win races any time soon, but that seeing the team move closer to a victory will keep him going.

Alonso is set to continue with Aston Martin in 2027, his 24th season in Formula 1. The team is 10th in the 2026 constructors’ standings. A B-spec update in Hungary was a positive step, but engine supplier Honda has fallen short on performance and reliability has also been a struggle.
