Honda has announced that it will be teaming up with Aston Martin for a partnership in Formula One (F1) in 2026. The new regulations set by F1 will enforce new guidelines towards carbon neutrality, with a focus on using sustainable fuel while having a 50/50 engine/electric motor maximum power output ratio. Honda will be rejoining Audi, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull with Ford in the creation of F1 engines in preparation for 2026, with Audi being a new addition to the mix. Ford and General Motors are among others expected to join back in 2026 under new regulatory guidelines. Honda is planning to work with Fernando Alonso, should he be selected by Aston Martin in three seasons. Alonso worked with McLaren in the past; however, had a strained working relationship with Honda. Aston Martin CEO Martin Whitmarsh has mentioned that Alonso’s past criticisms towards the company were made “in the heat of battle”, and if he exhibits the same driving skills in 2026, he will be welcomed in the team.
Honda made its announcement after initially stating that it would be pulling away from F1 after 2021, which prompted Red Bull to establish its own powertrains division. The company had a change of heart after seeing the success it brought in F1, leading to the company’s interest in becoming an F1 power-unit supplier again. CEO Koji Watanabe of Honda Racing Corporation has stated that he believes “the technologies and know-how gained from this new challenge has the potential to be applied directly to our future mass production electric vehicles.” Although Honda’s partner, Aston Martin, may seem like an unlikely pairing, its large investments from owner Lawrence Stroll have garnered significant success for the British F1 team.
