    Honda to return to Formula 1 in 2015

    Honda has announced that it will return to Formula 1 racing in 2015 as an engine supplier to the McLaren team reviving a 20-year-old partnership that saw drivers like the great Ayrton Senna and Alain ’The Doctor’ Prost romp to multiple titles in the early 1990s.   

    Honda will be in charge of the development, manufacture and supply of the power unit, including the engine and energy recovery system, while McLaren will be in charge of the development and manufacture of the chassis, as well as the management of the new team, McLaren Honda.

    From 2014, new F1 regulations require the introduction of a 1.6-litre direct injection turbocharged V6 engine with energy recovery systems. The opportunity to further develop these powertrain technologies through the challenge of racing is central to Honda’s decision to participate in F1. 

    Commenting on the development, Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor Company said, Ever since its establishment, Honda has been a company which grows by taking on challenges in racing. Honda has a long history of advancing our technologies and nurturing our people by participating in the world’s most prestigious automobile racing series.” 

    “The new F1 regulations with their significant environmental focus will inspire even greater development of our own advanced technologies and this is central to our participation in F1. We have the greatest respect for the FIA’s decision to introduce these new regulations that are both highly challenging but also attractive to manufacturers that pursue environmental technologies and to Formula One Group, which has developed F1 into a high value, top car racing category supported by enthusiastic fans,” he added.
