Honda spokesman: "The past is the past, Alonso is super talented, driver selection depends on the team".
Where are the alonso is blocked by Honda guys now?
Ford will not even produce a F1 engine valve cover in 2026.CHT wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 07:50I think it's a necessary decision for AM to switch because Merc team will not be happy if their struggle continues while AM surge ahead. For 2026 it will be anyone's guess who will make a better engine, but Honda seems to be closest to the ballpark with their current form. So now we have Audi Merc Honda Ford Renault for 2026?
Fallows has worked with Honda so that's a plus.CHT wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 07:50I think it's a necessary decision for AM to switch because Merc team will not be happy if their struggle continues while AM surge ahead.

Not sure how F1 team work, but I am guessing AM will now have access to some HONDA engine data for current RBR Honda engine
Ferrari will still make their own engines too i'm sure.CHT wrote: ↑24 May 2023, 07:50I think it's a necessary decision for AM to switch because Merc team will not be happy if their struggle continues while AM surge ahead.

I think Fernando will fight for the world championship again. At least I certainly wish so. But it is a fact he has now a higher chance than in 15 years since Renault 2008, regardless of his age. In Ferrari despite his heroics he never had the car.
It did happen in the past (the block), but it's a sensible stance Honda is taking up by letting this issue go. Holding such long grudges ultimately benefits no one.
Not sure about that. They might start before that making their own gearbox and rear suspension....Also in 2014 Honda petioned McLaren to build the gearbox.
