The F1 This is preparing for the arrival of the new 2026 engines, which are very attractive engines for brands due to their greater maintenance. One of the interested companies is sling bag, to officially leave F1 at the end of 2021 after his association with red bullalthough since then it has remained linked to the Austrian team’s creation of engines using the new ‘Red Bull Powertrains’.
Red Bull announced at the presentation of its 2023 car that it will join Ford in the new 2026 engine regulations, which will end the current relationship of the range of Milton Keynes with Asians. For its part, Honda has already announced that it has signed up as a rider for 2026. Although this does not mean that it will be yes or yes to the grid from 2026, it does mean that they are working in that direction. And in this sense, ‘Motorsport.com’ revealed that Honda aims to become an Aston Martin driver in 2026 and that this is the only path they are studying.
Aston Martin, another step
For his part, Aston Martin is considering ceasing to be a client team of Mercedes, a motorist from which it currently buys power units. Aston Martin reiterated that it wants to be one of the best teams on the grid for several years, one of the biggest. To do this, they created a new headquarters, a new wind tunnel, they signed dozens of engineers and a champion like Alonso and they were surprised by the performance of their 2023 car. Another ingredient in this definition is to become the main team and stop being a customer of one of its rivals. That is, having exclusivity of motors of one brand. Aston Martin will then study the possibility of joining the Japanese, according to the said media.
That could mean a dramatic reunion: Alonso with Honda, the same McLaren driver on Alonso’s return to the Woking team in 2015. The Japanese had a terrible start to the hybrid season , with many problems in creating a competitive and reliable engine, something that made the Spaniard desperate, openly criticizing Honda on many occasions.
Alonso reiterated that his plan is to continue “two or three more years in F1” and that his current contract with Aston Martin is “multi-year”. If Honda decides to join Aston Martin, it will be necessary to see if it means the reunion of Alonso and the Japanese, because for this Fernando, who is now 41 years old, must continue for 3 more years (besides currently) in F1, something more than how is possible
