This is just first year of partnership and things go good and better. Hope Max can get a good start.

And spec 4 to come! Don’t want to keep my hopes up but spec 3 was as we were told just small gain and preparation for the next step!

No complaints of turbo lag, so it seems like the issue has been understood. Nice to hear Max is happy with the performance!

"We worked really hard to improve the engine, to get a bit more out of it in qualifying, that showed again today that we were able to push it a bit more – but within the limits of not blowing up.

Today was another great day for everyone within the Team, but that Team also includes Honda, so a big thank you as the car has been flying.

I wolud like to see some footage from Sakura control center. Must have some cheering there after all these years or hard work...! Congrats Honda Motor Sport!

Congrats to HONDA and to MAX, it was well deserved

Honda are really heading in the right direction and momentum seems to be on their side.

Hard to believe they went from this;



to where they are today in 4 short-long years.

In the lomg version of the Ziggo interview with Max the reporter put out there that last night the board in Japan was to take a decision on wheter to continue or not. The reporter said that what they heard is that the commercial director is still in doubt about continuing. When faced with both of these remarks Max didnt deny it. Itis the same reporter who in Austria said to Helmut: “ we know you have big meeting planned with Honda this evening” to which Helmut replied: “how did you find out about that?”

Maybe if American Honda produced better cars and fixed their ugly Acura designs then they wouldn't have to think about getting rid of what fuels their brand loyalty in the first place.

Honda's products outside the US would sell like hotcakes and mochi donuts. American Honda and the dealership network are clueless. Step wagon, Freed, S660, Honda E, UR-V, Avancier and Jade/Stream should be sold in all markets. No need to develop new platforms.

Or kill off Acura and buy Aston Martin and Landrover.

Ummm you realize American Honda is what is funding Honda as a whole?

America is Honda's largest market...

In saying that, I wouldn't say "it's funding the whole thing". That's too broad a statement.

It sucks Haas is playing Ferrari second fiddle. It would do wonders if they signed a huge deal with Honda from 2021+ as Haas-Acura. Could be a sort of junior/semi works Honda team. Their presence in the US is huge. Get HPD involved. Could be awesome.

No, it is American customers who are buying/leasing financed products branded with Honda emblems, manufacturered by a global workforce. Compare the quality of production design inside and outside of the US. The Honda ownership experience is clouded with reliability issues, lower JD Power scores, dealer markups, and overall lack of attention to detail because the attention has gone to faulty software with shoddy speed sensors and parasitic battery drain due to "luxury" features.

Buy really, its Honda loyalty, NOT American Honda.
