Regarding the supply of F1 engines in 2026, Honda is in talks with a number of teams.

Honda says it has been contacted by multiple Formula One teams since signing up for the 2026 Formula One engine regulations but is not yet ready to confirm whether it will remain in the sport.

Honda's existing F1 contract with Red Bull as the team's engine supplier runs through the end of 2025, but the company has also registered as a manufacturer under the upcoming set of rules, which will see the power units' electrical output grow and switch to entirely sustainable fuels in 2026.

Red Bull built its own power unit facility at its Milton Keynes factory in response to the uncertainty surrounding Honda's future in Formula One. Ford will support the facility's production of engines beginning in 2026.

Honda may link up with a new team on the grid in 2026, though, as a result of its apparent about-face from concentrating just on electric vehicles to considering the idea of developing another hybrid engine for F1 racing.

The future path of Formula One, in our opinion, is consistent with our corporate-wide goal of carbon neutrality, which is why we decided to register as a PU, said Koji Watanabe, president of Honda Racing Corporation. "We're interested to see where Formula One, the premier racing division, is headed and how greater electrification will affect that.

"We would like to keep a very close eye on that and that's why we have decided to register as a PU manufacturer. After we made the registration we have been contacted by multiple F1 teams.

"For now we don't have any concrete decisions on whether we'll return to joining Formula One. Technological development, from the perspective, we think that knowing that being part of Formula One is going to help us with the technological developments."

Watanabe underlined Honda's commitment to Red Bull until the end of the 2025 season and confirmed the majority of the production of the current power unit, which will now be called a Honda-RBPT, would continue to be carried out in Japan.

"Honda and Red Bull will continue to have an incredible collaboration and mutual respect until 2025. We have that responsible position on that since we were informed in advance that Red Bull and Ford will be working together starting in 2026.

"Red Bull would partner with Ford starting in 2026, but we are unable to comment on it at this time. Nonetheless, we have a collaboration with Red Bull in other events, so we continue to collaborate.

There's nothing concrete we can say for F1 after 2026, but we'd like to stay involved and keep following the races, so I want you to keep supporting Honda.
