teams to the maximum extent, we will strengthen the systems and

challenges so that our fans will enjoy seeing a Honda with dominant
strength as soon as possible."

together with Honda in the coming seasons. Our realignment is not
just visible through the new ownership but also now with our new
technical partnership with Honda. We have set another milestone
with this new engine era, which we await with huge excitement and
of course we are looking for new opportunities. We very much look
forward to our partnership with Honda, which sets the course for a
successful future - from a strategic as well as from as technical
perspective. We thank Honda for making this great partnership
happen."
