Aston are getting the new wind tunnel and poached a lot of talent. Plus the ~~GP2~~ Honda engine. They might sink, they might swim, but the trajectory after this year may not be so clear cut.

Very unlikely that they turn it around before 26 to the point that they can win a straightforward race. It's so far off for Fernando he'll be older than Brundle before he gets a class leading car again.
