Honda is opening a new Formula 1 base in the UK that will mainly carry out post-race maintenance on the power units it will provide to Aston Martin from 2026.
After officially withdrawing from F1 at the end of 2021, having propelled Max Verstappen to his first drivers’ title, Honda has continued to supply engines until the end of 2025 to Red Bull and RB under its Honda Racing Corporation subsidiary - before Red Bull enters its own powertrain in conjunction with Ford.
“The establishment of HRC UK will further enhance the effectiveness of Honda’s PU operations, in support of the partnership with Aston Martin Team. “In May 2023, Honda and Aston Martin F1 jointly announced they will enter into works partnership so that Honda will supply its F1 PUs compliant with the new F1 regulations which will take effect in the 2026 season.” HRC will begin recruiting engineers, technicians and PR staff in the spring.
