Aston Martin and Honda suffered their latest tale of woe inside the opening few laps of the Mexico City Grand Prix.

On the fifth lap of 71 at the Autodrómo Hermanos Rodríguez, both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll were forced to retire.

Alonso, who retired in Q1 on Saturday with a water pressure issue, at least made it back to the garage in his AMR26.

Stroll, though, was forced to pull over on track, sparking a short virtual safety car period.

It is the fifth time this season both Honda-powered Aston Martins have endured a double DNF.

Aston Martin confirmed it had to retire both cars due to "abnormal pressure levels in the PU systems".
