Honda receives multiple offers for F1 partnership

Honda has an agreement to build engines for F1 champions Red Bull and sister team AlphaTauri.

Honda has received several offers for a partnership when Formula One's new engine era starts in 2026.

The Japanese car manufacturer has an agreement to build engines for F1 champions Red Bull and sister team AlphaTauri, which would end in 2025.

Red Bull has announced a new partnership with Ford for 2026.

Honda, which officially withdrew from Formula One after powering Red Bull's double world champion Max Verstappen to his first title in 2021, has registered to be one of six power unit suppliers from 2026-30.

According to Honda Racing Corporation president Koji Watanabe, they have been contacted by multiple Formula One teams after making the registration.

However, Honda doesn't have any concrete decisions on whether or not we will be going back to joining Formula One, Watanabe noted.

Watanabe added that Formula One's future direction was in line with Honda's target of carbon neutrality and increased electrification.

Formula One's next generation of engines will retain the high-revving 1.6-liter V6s but with significantly more electric power and 100% sustainable fuels. The sport also has a target of being carbon neutral by 2030.
