The “GP2 engine” comment from Fernando Alonso may still sting for both parties, but with almost a decade having passed since their last collaboration, the wounds may have healed. After all, Formula 1 has seen bridges rebuilt between teams and brands in the past.
Number 3. Haas
Haas has formed a closer relationship with Ferrari over the past year by establishing a technical base in Maranello, adjacent to the Scuderia’s own factory, and hiring several former Ferrari team members. It appears that the team has no plans to sever their ties with Ferrari anytime soon. In addition, team owner Gene Haas has rejected multiple approaches from Michael Andretti to acquire his team in the past. Therefore, any significant changes to Haas’ current arrangement seem unlikely.
However, as the late, great Murray Walker once famously said, “Anything can happen in Formula 1, and it usually does.” While surprises are always possible, it is unlikely that Honda will partner with Haas in the near future.
