The relationship between Fernando Alonso and Honda It has been very tense for some years in Formula 1. The Asturian driver left Ferrari to sign for mclaren honda and in that team he lived some of his worst moments. An absolutely disastrous car that took him to the back of the grid.
He “GP2 Engine”in the Japanese GP, is the history of Formula 1. This is how a relationship was cut short that could be recovered in 2026, when Alonso will already be 44 years old and his continuity is in doubt due to his seniority.
The relationship was tense, yes, but Alonso has recognized that as the seasons went by, Honda no longer had anything to do with that time at McLaren. In fact, Red Bull has been two-time champion of the Great Circus with max verstappen and the union with the Japanese brand Honda. Key to successes.
In ‘Motorsport’, at the end of 2022, he recognized the “changes”: “When they left McLaren They weren’t thinking about winning a World Cup at a time…”.
“But they did a good job, and they appointed the right people. They changed management. They introduced a new philosophy. I’m happy for them… but also sad. I hope they come back“said Fernando. And they have returned… and with their current team.
“I spoke to Yamamoto in the last three or four Grands Prix (at the end of last season). I get along really well with him. He allowed me to try a MotoGP and he was the first one I congratulated after speaking with Verstappen in parc fermé,” Alonso said then.
