That's article was written by someone who definitely despise honda they is nothing in there that resable truth for example ,honda says they have best battery tech then the writer says they are rubbish. Same with Aramco who are expected to have best fuel but author writes polar opposite.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 10:19https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/worr ... tin-honda/collindsilva wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 09:57not looking good

Yes. And very British biassed as you'd guess from The Race. We'll see what Honda delivers in due time.Vappy wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 12:25Media dribble, basically.Bill wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 11:53That's article was written by someone who definitely despise honda they is nothing in there that resable truth for example ,honda says they have best battery tech then the writer says they are rubbish.

Can we have a think about the nonsense that "British Bias" as an argument actually is?dren wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 15:43Yes. And very British biassed as you'd guess from The Race.

China is a leading power in the production and development of electric vehicle batteries, and there's fierce competition and demand for their products. Honda has long since lost its position in the global market; you're simply afraid to acknowledge the reality.
Honda are the only manufacturer who has built a full fledged solid state battery factory in Sakura were they make their pu.most of the talk about magic batteries are usually relegated to lab experiments that never see light of day.so honda do take these project seriously and has massively invested.
There is no MGUH in the Vee anymore!Snorked wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 10:50First look at the new PU:

Name me 1 automotive manufacture that charges and discharges a battery 100 times in 1 hour(about twice a minute) and has to do that 8 times before being able to replace the battery. Not 1 car in the world comes close to having to match those demands.
How do Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and now Audi do it in F1? How do other manufacturers do it in other series? Basically, any electric car with energy recovery does this as many times as necessary per minute while driving, giving and receiving energy.
A number of Chinese automakers (SAIC, Chery, GAC, GWM и BYD) already have their own factories producing solid-state batteries, and some of them are preparing for mass production of electric vehicles this year.Bill wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 20:37Honda are the only manufacturer who has built a full fledged solid state battery factory in Sakura were they make their pu.most of the talk about magic batteries are usually relegated to lab experiments that never see light of day.so honda do take these project seriously and has massively invested.
You mean researching SSD batteries. The technology is not ready to be commercially available yet. There is one company in Finland that just said they are using it in a motorcycle._cerber1 wrote: ↑10 Jan 2026, 10:40A number of Chinese automakers (SAIC, Chery, GAC, GWM и BYD) already have their own factories producing solid-state batteries, and some of them are preparing for mass production of electric vehicles this year.Bill wrote: ↑09 Jan 2026, 20:37Honda are the only manufacturer who has built a full fledged solid state battery factory in Sakura were they make their pu.most of the talk about magic batteries are usually relegated to lab experiments that never see light of day.so honda do take these project seriously and has massively invested.
Solid-state batteries have long been the holy grail of electric vehicles, but after years of development, they may finally be a viable option. Verge Motorcycles, a Finnish/Estonian mobility brand is claiming to have the world’s first production EV fitted with a solid state battery. Working with its in-house technology partner Donut Lab, the firm brand will start deliveries of its solid-state powered motorbikes within months.
They don't need to be commercial products to be used in F1. Hell, a test production line could provide a team with battery cells, maybe all teams.emp wrote: ↑10 Jan 2026, 12:48You mean researching SSD batteries.
