Despite Honda's exit from Formula 1 after this year, Franz Tost is expecting a lot from the new Honda engine that AlphaTauri will have at its disposal in 2021. He also foresees a positive future for both AlphaTauri and Red Bull Racing.
"It’s a shame that Honda stops at the end of this year because the engineers in Sakura did a fantastic job over the past years", Tost said in an interview on ScuderiaAlphaTauri.com. According to the Austrian, the engine is not only more powerful, but also more reliable.
A bit of Honda in Formula 1
Red Bull has taken over Honda's technology so that they can build on it from 2022 onwards. Tost is happy that the cooperation with Honda will not disappear completely. "I would like to thank the FIA and Formula 1 Management, together with all the teams, for having unanimously agreed on the engine freeze from the start of next year, which has enabled this agreement to be reached."
"We believe this is the best solution for the future of both Scuderia AlphaTauri and Red Bull Racing, until the next generation engines are introduced in 2025", Tost concluded. Red Bull and AlphaTauri will continue to use Honda technology under the name Red Bull Powertrains Limited from 2022.
