Honda has kept its hat in the ring ahead of the F1 rules shake-up in 2026, but so far doesn't have an obvious partner 🤔 However, could the team we currently know as Aston Martin be a suitable match? ⬇️
So what then of Aston Martin? Obviously the sportscar manufacturer has strong corporate links to Mercedes, and on the face of it a switch to Honda would appear to make no commercial sense.
“I think we’re pretty open minded about that kind of thing,” he said. “What this team has gained from its relationship with Mercedes has been immense.“And as we move into the future and do things our own way or take on our own projects, we’re very mindful that we have to be able to do them at least as well as, if not better than they do. That’s a capability we would have to build up before we even thought about making those decisions.
There is also a bigger picture that overrides those complicated branding issues, especially if you start to think in terms of 'Team Silverstone' or perhaps 'Stroll F1'.The former Racing Point organisation is currently known as Aston Martin as part of a marketing plan Stroll has for the road car manufacturer. There’s nothing to stop him changing tack in 2026 after running in green for five years, having successfully boosted Aston’s image.
Aston, in contrast, has already proved that it has made real progress, and with the move to the new factory – and more time for the revamped technical crew to gel under the leadership of Fallows – it’s logical to assume that there is even greater potential to be tapped in future years. “It would have been reasonable solution for a couple of years,” Whitmarsh told this writer a couple of years ago, before he made his return to F1 with Aston.
