Yeah Aston will be the sole buyer of Honda so it will a works partnership where the chassis and engine can be designed for each other. If you are just a customer like McLaren is for Merc engines, they get little to no way to influence engine design
I think I'd heard suggestions of this a year or two ago, didn't know it was actually happening! So in Honda's latest flip-flop they're coming back to f1 again, but completely separate to the RBPT Honda engines that Red Bull use?
Yes and no. RBPT is just a honda engine rebadged because honda were leaving and did not want their name on the engine. But they own the ip so while the 2026 Honda program does not link to the RBPT Honda Collab currently going on, there is a good chance that their 2026 PU will use a lot of IP of the current engine.
Now that is an f1 level of pointless complexity that Honda have given us. Cheers!
