Honda F1
60th Anniversary

In 1962, not even the word F1
was known in Japan.

Driven by the founder
of the motorcycle company
that had not even sold one car,
Soichiro Honda’s
fervent passion of not knowing
if it is possible
but wanting to do it anyway,
Honda’s seemingly reckless
challenge had begun.

60 years have passed
since Honda’s first F1 participation
in the German Grand Prix in August 1964.

Fifth Era

Honda will return to F1 starting in 2026, supplying power units to the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team. 2026 F1 regulations will require the use of 100% carbon-neutral fuels, and the power output of engines and electric motors will be equivalent. Honda has decided to participate in F1 as the new regulations align with its goal of achieving carbon neutrality, and have great significance for the development of future technologies to achieve this goal.
