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.
Honda first entered F1
at the German Grand Prix
in August 1964.
This year marks the 60th anniversary
since Honda first won an F1 race,
at the Mexican Grand Prix
in October 1965.

2026 -
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.
