Honda has been in the news lately after the Formula 1 power unit it developed for Aston Martin’s 2026 car has not been reliable. Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey has broken his silence about the problem, suggesting how Honda may have prioritized solar panels over its F1 engine project.

 

The Japanese manufacturer parted ways with Red Bull Racing after the 2025 season and became the official power unit supplier for Aston Martin for the new era of regulations starting this year. However, the power unit has been having problems since testing began for the F1 teams.
