Sergio Perez has admitted his feelings about Honda's partnership with Aston Martin after the two parties announced their collaboration for the 2026 season

Sergio Perez has commented on Honda's return to F1 with Aston Martin, claiming that the Silverstone-based team are 'here to win'.

The Japanese engine manufacturer has agreed a deal to return to F1 in 2026, partnering up with the Aston Martin team, who have until now been partnered with Mercedes.

Honda only left F1 at the end of 2021, stepping away from Red Bull and helping guide the team in the infantry of the Red Bull Powertrains department.

However, the Japanese company are now back on motorsport's biggest stage, joining up with Aston Martin as they look to establish themselves as F1 frontrunners for the long term.
