The Japanese are very honourable people. If things do not go as desired, they - usually quietly - step up their game. An example? After Honda's failed adventure with McLaren, they worked even harder at the factory and Red Bull Racing are currently reaping the benefits. If it is up to Honda, the success will continue from 2026 with Aston Martin. There is one complicating factor at that team at the moment, though, that makes the constructors' World Championship title impossible. His name is Lance Stroll.
