Legendary F1 Commentator Martin Brundle Predicts Sensational Honda F1 Return Amidst Volkswagen Hopes

Japanese engine manufacturer Honda has played a crucial role in the history of Formula One. Sadly, after the dramatic 2021 season, where they helped Red Bull win the drivers’ championship, Honda will part ways with the constructor. Interestingly, F1 commentator Martin Brundle feels that the Japanese engine manufacturer will return to the sport.

Honda has left F1 numerous times but has always managed to come back. Hence, Brundle feels that they will return to the grid at some point in the future.

Martin Brundle is optimistic about Honda’s return to Formula One

Honda and Red Bull had a successful 2021 season together, as they saw Max Verstappen become world champion. But, with the season now over, the Japanese engine manufacturer will part ways with the world of F1.

However, Brundle is optimistic and feels they could return to F1 with another team. Speaking to Sky Sports as quoted by GPBlog, he said, “Red Bull have still been very generous and wanting to maintain a relationship with Honda in the transition. They’ll come back, and we hope that the Volkswagen Group, Audi will join. Formula 1 is stratospheric at the moment, so they can always make a decision to come back.”
