  • Aston Martin to Use Honda Engines from 2025?

    Lots of reporting on this so it must be legit but it seems odd. I thought Honda was gone. Didn't RBR bail on buying all their stuff?

    Not a great marketing move for the road cars either - Get your billion-pound Aston Martin (Powered by Honda)...

    FWIW

    Based on Honda's more recent entries into F1, this can only be good news
    for Aston Martin ... eventually. Honda join in with high hopes and get
    no where and then Honda decides to leave F1 and the car starts winning
    the championships the year after they have left. I reckon AM will have
    the driver and constructor championship in about 5 or 6 years.

    Cynical? Me?

    Cheers

    From 2026, when the MGU-H goes away.

    that I look like Steve Bannon by an 80 year-old buddhist
    was the last straw. - Bobby London
