Honda has confirmed that its 2026 Formula 1 power unit will be unveiled on 20 January during an event in Tokyo.
The 2026 season will kick off Honda's partnership with the Aston Martin F1 team.
After parting ways with Red Bull at the end of 2025, as the Milton Keynes outfit moves to produce Red Bull Powertrains in collaboration with Ford, the Japanese manufacturer signed exclusively with Aston Martin as its power unit partner.

"This is the Japanese marque’s first power unit under the dramatically reformed regulations which sees 50% internal combustion power and 50% electric power," Honda said in a statement.
