Honda’s increased visual presence on Red Bull’s cars might prove to be a small step in the Japanese manufacturer recommitting to Formula 1.
In the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw to discuss Honda’s subtle change in branding and what it might mean for a manufacturer that remains at the front of the grand prix pack but only in an ‘unofficial’ capacity.
Earlier this week, a key meeting was held at Honda regarding its F1 programme and there is growing speculation that it could ultimately decide make a formal return with Red Bull for the new power unit regulations in 2026.
So why should Honda reverse its decision to withdraw from F1 at the end of 2021?
We’re also joined for the first in a series of special The Race F1 Podcast appearances by Mika Hakkinen, who looks ahead to the Japanese Grand Prix.
