Honda Racing Corporation President Koji Watanabe has revealed the Japanese marque spoke with “several” F1 teams before landing a works engine deal with Aston Martin.
Wouldn’t be Haas cos their relationship with Ferrari is so close. That leaves Alpine, Williams, McLaren as rest are either manufacturers or about to become ones (Audi).
Alpine can’t avoid using Renault engines
Do you mean specifically this year? Cos this is the last year of Renault engines, next year is Mercedes
Imagine being part an automobile manufacturing company and having to use a competitor’s engine. 💀
It’s the most Renault thing they could have done.
Renault are a true embarrassment.
Haas also have a relationship with Toyota
True but that’s a technical partnership as opposed to engine supply. The next few years are going to look very different with Ford, Audi, Cadillac, Toyota etc all around the paddock to varying degrees.
If Aston can replace Lance, they might actually have a shot at the title before the end of the decade.
