## What F1 Cars Have Honda Engines?

## Honda’s F1 Success
Honda has enjoyed great success in Formula One, winning six drivers’ championships and five constructors’ championships. The Japanese manufacturer’s most successful period came in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when it powered McLaren to four consecutive drivers’ and constructors’ championships.
Honda returned to F1 in 2015 as an engine supplier for McLaren. The partnership was not successful, and Honda withdrew from the sport at the end of the 2017 season.
Honda returned to F1 in 2019 as an engine supplier for Red Bull Racing. The partnership has been highly successful, with Red Bull winning the drivers’ championship in 2021.
## The Future of Honda in F1
Honda is currently committed to supplying engines to Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri until the end of the 2025 season. The Japanese manufacturer has not yet announced its plans beyond that date.
There is speculation that Honda could leave F1 at the end of the 2025 season. The Japanese manufacturer is facing increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, and F1 is not currently considered to be a sustainable sport.
However, Honda has also expressed interest in developing a new power unit for the 2026 season. The new power unit would be based on a hybrid system that combines a turbocharged internal combustion engine with an electric motor.
If Honda does develop a new power unit for the 2026 season, it is likely that the Japanese manufacturer will continue to supply engines to Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri.
