Honda, between celebrating its 500 races in F1 and improving Alonso’s engine: “Our power units have undergone complete maintenance”
The GP from the United States from this weekend in austin It is a milestone for Honda in Formula 1. The Japanese motorcyclist completes 500 races in the Great Circus. Unfortunately for its interests, it will not be able to be a celebration in style because the level of its power unit is not up to par with the rest of the competitors and therefore, both Fernando Alonso as Aston Martinthey cannot enjoy the weapons necessary to get much positive out of Austin.
Both the Spaniard’s car and Lance Stroll’s will have a logo with the number 500 on their AMR26s and Honda engineers will wear special clothing throughout the weekend. To immortalize the moment, a group photo is scheduled to be taken on Friday morning with the drivers, Adrian Newey and Lawrence Stroll.
Shintaro Orihara, Chief engineer and general director of the Japanese track, he was very proud that Honda reached this anniversary. “The United States GP in Austin is always a special event. This year, we have the privilege of celebrating 500 races in Formula 1, which means great excitement and pride for the weekend“, expressed the Japanese in the preview.
Looking ahead to the weekend in Austin, it is normal for Honda to suffer with the long straights that the Texan circuit has. That said, the Aston Martin chassis could compensate as it already did at Sepang. Anyway, the Japanese leadership went to the Sakura factory after the Singapore GP to review and analyze their engines.
“Our power units have been fully serviced and are ready for Austin, where we will give our maximum with the package we have,” he expressed in conclusion.
