Associated with the Red Bull Racing F1 team, Honda has developed one of the best engines on the starting grid. And although it no longer directly supports the team, which has Aston Martin as a technical engine sponsor, the truth is that Honda will continue to develop its technology until 2025. And with good results, since after winning his first World Champion title in 2021, Verstappen is emerging as one of the main candidates to repeat doses in 2022.

The video shows Verstappen evolving through Dozza, although the Dutchman would probably get more pleasure from driving a Type R. However, if this swap could allow him to have more power, 320hp instead of Honda’s 154hp and he wouldn’t have much. . advantage in terms of strength, since the sports announces 400 Nm, compared to 315 Nm of the electric “mini”.
