Honda Is willing to work with Fernando Alonso again.
The last time Honda and Fernando Alonso worked together, things did not go well. This was when Honda supplied the McLaren Formula 1 team with power units that were underpowered and unreliable, at one point infamously leading the Spanish driver to dub the Honda a "GP2 engine."
"When it comes to Alonso, there were times in the past where we did have difficulty, that is true," said Koji Watanabe, Honda Racing Corporation president in a roundtable with U.S. media. "However, since then we have teamed up with Red Bull and we were able to clinch the World Championship title.
Of course, this all hinges on whether Alonso will actually drive for Aston Martin in 2026. At 44, he's already the oldest driver on the grid, so retirement remains a possibility. But if his quality of driving remains at his exceptionally high standard and Aston Martin-Honda can give him a title-challenging car, it's easy to see him stick around. Aston Martin racing CEO Martin Whitmarsh says the team is open to keeping him in its roster.
