They have just finished FP2 on the circuit of Suzuka and those attentive to every single detail on F1 single-seaters will have noticed, in addition to the rain, a difference on the Alpha tauri and on Red Bull.
Backfire of Honda, again with Alpha Tauri and Red Bull
On AT03 di Pierre Gasly e Yuki tsunoda and on RB18 di Max Verstappen e Sergio Perez magically reappeared the official logo of Honda. After the announcement of lack of agreement between Porsche and Red Bull, the Japanese house, through a statement issued on social networks, has decided to return to supply the power units to the Austrian and Italian teams from next season. While waiting for next season and, therefore, for the next races, Honda too will talk about the sponsors of the cars.
The words of Marko and Horner who know they have made the right choice
Obviously there was no shortage of amazement on the part of everyone after this statement that he literally has shocked everyone also for the way it arrived, that is, without anyone being able to guess anything; and talking about this was a very important figure within the Red Bull team, Helmut Marko: “Oracle Red Bull Racing and Honda Racing Corporation have achieved great success together in Formula One. With these new agreements, we are proud to continue growing with the technical support of HRC until the introduction of the next generation of engines in 2026. We are confident that this relationship with HRC will lead us to even more success in the future and we thank them for the their continued support.
Adding to the words of the DS of the Austrian team, he thought about it Christian horner, team principal and CEO of Red Bull: “Honda has invested significantly in hybrid technology over the course of our partnership. This ensured the supply of competitive power units to both teams, for which we are very grateful. Our common goal is to continue to deliver dominant engines and achieve the greatest possible success over the next three years. For this reason, we look forward to bringing the Honda logo back to the cars starting at Suzuka.".
