Honda are preparing to move away from Red Bull and join forces with Aston Martin.
Honda has established a new UK-based subsidiary as their upcoming switch from Red Bull to Aston Martin continues to take shape.
And as preparations for that year continue, Honda Racing has announced the establishment of Honda Racing Corporation UK Ltd, which has been designed to carry out preparation and post-race maintenance on the Honda PUs, while also serving as a logistical hub for Honda’s European presence. HRC president Koji Watanabe has been confirmed as the boss for this new UK operation, which ‘will start the recruitment of engineers, technicians and staff members from spring 2024’.The Aston Martin-Honda alliance truly is set to be an international affair, as their recently-rebranded American arm will be involved with development of the new 2026 PU, while its staff members will also be present at F1 races.
“Our goal is to increase the HRC brand and sustain the success of our racing activities and we believe that uniting Honda motorsports globally as one racing organisation will help achieve that,” said Watanabe.
