    So in Honda’s latest flip-flop they’re coming back to f1 again, but completely separate to the RBPT Honda engines that Red Bull use?

    Yes and no. RBPT is just a honda engine rebadged because honda were leaving and did not want their name on the engine. But they own the ip so while the 2026 Honda program does not link to the RBPT Honda Collab currently going on, there is a good chance that their 2026 PU will use a lot of IP of the current engine.

      Now that is an f1 level of pointless complexity that Honda have given us. Cheers!
