Several notable Honda drivers are not taking part in this week's sformula test at Suzuka, including reigning champion Tomoki Nojiri. Here's why they are absent from the annual post-season test:
Maybe the most surprising thing about Monday’s entry list reveal was the absence of reigning champion Tomoki Nojiri. Mugen instead will be running just a single car for the two days of testing for its new signing, Red Bull junior Liam Lawson.
And as for B-Max’s #51 car that will be driven this week by Raoul Hyman, which was spotted on Tuesday featuring an all-white livery, it’s a rechristening of Team Goh’s #53 car which had been painted in Red Bull colours and driven by Ren Sato this season.This one is a bit harder to discern, but all indications remain that Tadasuke Makino will continue driving for Dandelion in 2023.
Part of the confusion at Dandelion is understood to have stemmed from the fact that Oyu turned down the chance to drive for the team in 2023, having made it clear to Honda that he had no desire to spend another season at Nakajima Racing.
