Watch as the factory Honda team unveils its new livery for the 2026 season
The factory Honda team has revealed its new colors for the 2026 season just before the pre-season testing kicks off. HRC is entering the new season fresh from a successful year, scoring a grand prix victory with LCR and securing three dry-weather podium finishes. Two of those podiums were achieved by the factory Honda squad, including third-place finishes by 2020 world champion Joan Mir in Japan and Malaysia. Honda’s improved performance last year has seen it rise from the bottom of the concession standings. Joan Mir and Luca Marini will continue as Honda’s unchanged driver lineup this season, but they face tough competition to hold onto their seats. Rumors suggest that 2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo has inked a deal with Honda for the 2027 season. With LCR’s seats already filled by Johann Zarco and Diogo Moreira, the battle for the remaining seat between Mir and Marini intensifies. Honda’s 2026 livery unveiling stream will go live at 9am GMT.
