  • Honda unveiled its 2026 power unit as the RA626H, the first power unit under the new Formula 1® regulations, in Tokyo.
  • This marks a new chapter for Honda in Formula 1, partnering with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team.

From the 2026 season, Honda will enter the FIA※1 Formula One World Championship (F1) by supplying power units (PU) to the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team as a works partner. Ahead of the 2026 season, Honda held an event in central Tokyo to celebrate the beginning of this partnership.


At the event, Toshihiro Mibe, Director, President and Representative Executive Officer of Honda Motor Co., Ltd.; Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, Formula One Group; and Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, took the stage and delivered speeches.

Toshihiro Mibe, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Director, President and Representative Executive Officer, said: “Honda is positioning F1 as a symbol of challenge and innovation, and Honda Racing Corporation (HRC), the global racing arm of Honda, developed RA626H, the new PU for the 2026 season. Striving to become No. 1 in the world, Honda will continue to take on challenges together with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.

“In 2026, F1 will undergo a major change in regulations for both the chassis and PU. For the PU, the electrical power output produced by the motor and battery will be increased to roughly three times its current output, and the use of advanced sustainable fuel will be required for the engine. In other words, F1 is evolving into a next-generation motorsport that takes on the challenges of both electrification and decarbonisation.

“Machines powered by the RA626H will bear a new H mark with refreshed design, Honda adopted as the new symbol representing its automobile business. This new H mark symbolizes the transformation of Honda automobile business and will be used for F1 machines as well as Honda machines in various other motorsports.”
