Honda left F1 at the end of the 2021 season of the sport, however, they have now slowly started to dwell on their decision, and as things stand, it is becoming more and more likely that they are going to make a full-fledged return to the sport.

The Honda brand name was recently brought back on Red Bull’s cars and there is a growing belief that more steps toward a return to the sport are in the works.

The 2021 departure was not the first time Honda left F1, as, in the past, their sudden departure from the sport has cost them dearly in terms of losing its prized personnel and because of this reason, they have been forced into searching for competent personnel again and again.

However, with the creation of the Honda Racing Corporation, the hierarchy has been able to bring back stability to the whole group as the experienced staff is still there and is now given the liberty to work on all aspects of racing in their laboratories.

While there is a lot of speculation in the media about Honda coming back to F1, the in charge of F1 powerplant development, Yusuaki Asaki has made no attempt to hide that the Japanese giants are preparing themselves for a major role within the F1 paddock.

Moreover, Asaki is the head of HRC and after Max Verstappen’s title triumph in Japan, he was allowed to get on the podium with the Dutchman to collect the Constructors trophy.

In a recent conversation with a media house, Asaki has recently explained that the mindset of the Honda group has changed completely and despite their last year’s exit from F1, they have been working on power sources that Red Bull has found success with.

While dwelling on the same, Asaki added, “By taking advantage of that one opportunity, I was able to win the title. I think the efforts of the engineers at HRC changed everyone’s mind.”

The engineer is confident about Honda returning to F1 and considering that they have already got their name back on the Red Bull liveries, a comeback can soon be on the cards.
