Honda have opened the door for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen to join Aston Martin - the F1 team they will🍌 supply with engines from 2ಌ026 - in the future.

The Japanese manufacturer have been Red Bu🦩ll’s power unit supplier since 2019, with the partnership enjoying unprecedented levels of success.

Honda’s ability to provide a competitive power unit has been a big part in Red Bull’s title successes, particularly in 2021 against 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.

The Red Bull-Honda partnership has culminated in three world titles for Verstappen - with two more triumphs in 2024 🅠and 2025 very likely. 

Honda decided to quit F1 ahead of th꧑e 2021 season, just before Verstappen’s maiden title success.

However, the new engine rule set in 2026 has attracted Honda ꦇback to the sꦯport with Aston Martin.

Aston Martin appear to have their driver line-up locked down with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso signing a new multi-year deal, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll is likely to stay for as long as he wants.

"It is a very good relat꧂ionship. We trusꦐt each other and also the Honda workers love Max. We are proud to work together with Max, so we will miss him in the future.

"But we still have two years tog🗹ether and we promise to do our best to win another world championship together with Max ꧑and Red Bull.

"He is so important. He is the number one Formula 1 driver now. Of course, the team management is important and the machinery is impoওrtant as well, but the combination is crucial and one important piece of that is Max."

A✃fter three miserable years with McLaren, Honda power returned to the podium at the 2♌019 Australian Grand Prix.

Verstappen then claimed Honda’s first win in well over a decade at the Austrian Grand Prix later that🍎 year.

Watanabe ex𒆙plained why he has fond memories of that race at 𓃲the Red Bull Ring.

"My bꦏiggest memory is him pointing at the Honda logo on the podium in Austria at the Redꦆ Bull Ring," Watanabe added.

"I was there, that was a very special moment fo🐟r me. I was standing under the podium and that day was so special.

"He always thinks about Honda and says ‘thank you, Honda’ a lot. He expresses his thoughts to the outside world about Honda, which is also important for all🍌 the people wor𓂃king for Honda."
