Racing Point (aka Aston Martin) to Honda?

[peebee2]

Hearing that Racing Point has signed with Honda for 2026 on, and this could be announced in Monaco this weekend.

Presumably they'll also continue with the Aston Martin team badging/sponsorship, a la Alfa Romeo of the last few years etc.

Why are you referring to it as Racing Point? Is this bait for the pedants? Have you just taken your first victim?

[GTRMagic]

Isn’t it Jordan Grand Prix? I mean MercedesF1 is still Tyrrell Racing Organisation…

Can the new car be called Aston Martin LaHonda?

(Sorta sounds like Lagonda )

Well done GTR, well done indeed!

LaHonda is magnificent!

I called it Racing Point because that’s what it really is. Some prefer to think it’s Aston Martin but it’s much more like Sauber/Alfa Romeo in reality.

Unless the board seats of both Sauber and Alfa are held by and/or controlled by the same people then your analogy is flawed.

Not true at all.

Racing Point Limited was renamed AMR GP Limited in January 2021.

i would respectfully then ask for you to back up your analogy.

information about shares, specifically publicly traded shares, board seats, the ability to appoint corporate officers etc are all part of the public domain.

should be easy for you to prove that the AM racing team and AM car manu are not related corporations.

but if you are not going to put in that effort, then maybe give it a rest already!

Maybe see the other thread where somebody else kindly confirmed that Aston Martin Lagonda have no ownership of the F1 team.

I'm not sure why you want to argue. I didn't realise that them not owning the team was ever a secret.

Stroll and Yuki as drivers in 2026?

Just a simple question (from a simple person):
What is the official name of the racing team that I (and apparently many others) refer to as Aston Martin?

If you are referring to the entry - 'Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team' - https://www.fia.com/events/fia-formu...pionship-entry
If you are referring to the company - 'AMR GP Limited'
