Fernando Alonso is working with Honda once again in F1, over a decade on from the start of the ill-fated McLaren project.
Fernando Alonso has passionately defended Honda’s current struggles at Aston Martin, reminiscent of his previous experience at McLaren over a decade ago.
Aston Martin has faced challenges with its new Honda power unit in F1’s new regulations, encountering reliability and performance issues causing severe vibrations that even risked Alonso and Stroll’s health.
Despite the difficulties, Alonso managed to finish the third race of the season in Japan, with the team implementing countermeasures.
Alonso’s history with Honda dates back to the McLaren-Honda partnership that began in 2015 and ended in 2017, leading to the termination of the deal and McLaren switching to a Renault power supply.
Alonso reflected on the differences between the McLaren-Honda era and the current issues at Aston Martin, highlighting how perceptions have evolved over the years and the challenges faced as a competitive driver in Formula 1.
