"Toro Rosso is an experienced team with a youthful energy and
history of nurturing the stars of the future. Everyone at Honda is
looking forward to working with Toro Rosso, and we are excited to
start this new chapter in our Formula 1 journey with them. I would
like to express our appreciation to Liberty Media and the FIA for
their cooperation toward the realization of this partnership. Honda
and Toro Rosso will work as one team to strive for progress and a
successful future together. We appreciate the support of our fans
as we begin this challenge."

"Everyone in our team is very much looking forward to working with
Honda. Ever since its founder Soichiro Honda entered his
motorcycles in events, racing has always been a central part of the
company's ethos. It's a very exciting challenge and I hope that
both parties will gain a great deal from it as we develop together.
Honda has a long history in Formula 1, dating back to 1964 when it
first entered the sport with its own team and, as an engine
supplier it has taken five Drivers' World Championship titles and
six Constructors. This heritage, together with the full confidence
that we have in Honda's capabilities to succeed, make me strongly
believe that we will achieve a fruitful future together."
