Honda have their sights set on the F1 world championship in 2026.
Their subsequent success with Red Bull alongside the new regulations for 2026 has tempted Honda to make a return.
This time it will be with Aston Martin, which continue to build towards becoming a world championship winning team., Honda Racing Corporation president Koji Watanabe says a title bid is the sole target. "To become world champion from 2026 onwards,” he said."We know that it will be very difficult and it is not so easy, but we need some good targets to put in our best effort together with Aston Martin.
"So, that's why together with Stroll and Toshihiro Mibe , we set the target to just aim for the world championship in that year. In reality, it is not so easy."Since Lawrence Stroll rebranded Racing Point as Aston Martin, the team have failed to win a race.Watanabe conceded there are still weaknesses on both sides that need addressing before they can challenge for the world championship.
