Formula 1 News: Another leadership change at Honda F1

Honda Racing Corporation has announced that president and CEO Koji Watanabe will retire on January 1, with executive vice president Keiichi Yasuda set to take over leadership. Watanabe has led HRC since 2022 and was key in unifying Honda's racing programs and overseeing its return to Formula 1. The change comes during a difficult first season of the Aston Martin-Honda works partnership, though Fernando Alonso's eighth-place finish at the Malaysian Grand Prix offered some encouragement.
