Tribute to be paid to departing engine supplier after cancellation of Japanese GP
London — Formula One title contenders Red Bull and sister team AlphaTauri will race with a special Honda tribute livery at this weekend’s Turkish Grand Prix on what would have been their departing engine supplier’s last home race.
“We had all been looking forward to giving Honda’s Japanese fans a chance to celebrate our extremely successful relationship in Formula One on home soil at Suzuka,” said Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. The Red Bull cars will be predominantly white, the colour used by the Japanese manufacturer when it won the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix, while the AlphaTauri rear wings will say “arigato” .
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has won seven of the 15 races so far this season and is two points behind Mercedes’ seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton, 2020’s winner in Turkey.
