Honda, Japan, the engine supplier to the Red Bull Racing and Alpha Tauri teams participating in the Formula One World Championship, has ended its first-class racing career, it announced Friday.
A statement issued by the company, which returned to the world of Formula One in 2015, confirmed that it will not supply engines for next season to any of the teams participating in the world championship with engines, and that it will dedicate its resources instead to “achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 “by producing carbon neutral engines.
Honda lived through its glory days in Formula One in the late 1980s, with rivals Alan Prost and Brazilian Ayrton Senna on the McLaren team, who won many manufacturer and driver titles with them.
Instead, their participation in the Formula One Championship as a team of engine and chassis manufacturers between 2006 and 2008 was a failure.
Currently, Red Bull is second in the constructors’ standings, with 192 points, a big difference behind Mercedes I, 366 points, while the Dutch Red Bull driver Max Verstappen is third behind the British leader Lewis Hamilton, six times champion of the world, and his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.
