Honda "had a slightly late start" but hope to develop their engine for 2026

Despite having a "slightly late start", Honda and its leader of the F1 project at the Japanese manufacturer, Tetsushi Kakuda, are hoping to have their engine homologated (approved, ed.) by February 2026. After partnering with Red Bull Racing, for the 2026 season, they will move teams and become the official engine supplier of Aston Martin when the new regulations come into play.
