Honda believes that the reliability improvements it has made to its F1 engine will 'help with giving more options from a strategic perspective' for Red Bull and AlphaTauri this season ⬇️
With an F1 power unit freeze in place since the start of last year, manufacturers are not allowed to deliver any specific performance upgrades.
Speaking at a press conference in Japan on Monday regarding Honda's engine plans for the 2023 campaign, its F1 project leader Tetsushi Kakuda was clear that tweaks his company have introduced have not delivered such a power lift. "Last year, I believe all the PU manufacturers prioritised performance in their development, and so did we," he commented.
"Not only must we improve the areas where problems have become apparent, but also we have been preparing ourselves to have wider strategies by identifying the limits of each part and maximizing its potential.
