The Race F1 Podcast · Is the FIA right to help Alonso and Honda? · 19 Sep 2026 podcast

You also don't want another manufacturer that might be doing better in in Red Bull's case being kind of frozen. voice-verified

Because that's the nature of a catch up system, isn't it? voice-verified

You want it to voice-verified

allow the catching up without allowing you to slingshot past everyone. voice-verified

And that's actually quite hard uh to do. voice-verified

Um John, do you think that this is really Alonso's key thing for next year? voice-verified

Or do you think they've just said, Oh, I'm going to continue next year, but let's use the leverage because if I was in that scenario, if I was uh if I was Lawrence Stroll and Fernando Alonso, I'd I'd cook up this scheme 'cause I think it's a a great thing to do because voice-verified

obviously they won't want Alonso walking away saying, Oh, this is rubbish because he's a big name and if he wants to retire because he's bored of it, uh just being being a Formula One driver, but Formula One's still great, that's one thing. voice-verified

But doing it because F1 doesn't work very well, that that is a a a negative blow. voice-verified

So do you think Alonso's really serious about this? voice-verified

We also should remember that Honda has ultimately underachieved. voice-verified

We've talked on the podcast before about the problems they had coming into this year, the fact they pretty much closed down their F one engine operation, had to reassemble it, and that put them behind Adrian New. voice-verified

He talked about that at the start of the season. voice-verified

And there have been changes as well. voice-verified

Um Yachiro Facao has taken over as the project leader from Tetsuhi Kakuda, and that's apparently to accelerate PU development. voice-verified

So ultimately, John voice-verified

Some of this is also on Honda, isn't it? voice-verified

They need to do better and you'd expect a uh you'd expect a manufacturer of Honda's success and standing to have voice-verified

come up with a better product at this stage. voice-verified

So it's not purely down to the way Ada works or the regulations. voice-verified
