Honda in 2015 as a supplier of engines with McLarn returned to Formula 1. The first years were very difficult. Let’s just remember Alonso’s statement that the engines are as weak as if he were racing with GP2 (Formula 2). Only by working with Alpha tauri (Torro Rosso) in Red Bullom have become competitive. On Friday, however, they shocked the public as well as the team Red Bull with the news that after 2021, they are leaving the royal class. They wrote that they would shift all their efforts to the development of electric cars and alternative energy in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
With the withdrawal, rumors surfaced that this had begun to strengthen the situation Formula E, where many manufacturers already work with factory teams. And the boss Formula E Agag, is more cautious in his statements and says: »This is bad news for motorsport in general. This is not positive news for Formula E and negative news for Formula 1. In Formula E we need Formula 1, because we are not a competition. We are in the same boat and sailing the same route. Although they are at Honda stated that they are turning to the development of alternative sources and electric cars, this is not a guarantee that they will return to motorsport in our series. They may choose to avoid it altogether motorsports. And that’s what worries me. "
