Honda really impressed last season and have really come on the scene as one of the top power units and their relationship with Red Bull Racing couldn't really have gone any better. Formula 1 pundit, Karun Chandhok, believes that it is the Honda reliability that really sets them apart.  

Honda have the benefit of working with two teams and can, therefore, make Red Bull's reliability amazing at the detriment of the sister team.  

“They (Red Bull) have not had any reliability problems with Honda but they are with four cars. Toro Rosso had to change seven engines with both cars, resulting in a lot of penalties. You have to include that in the whole picture," Karun said to Motor Sport.  

Karun doesn't think that that we have seen the best of Honda yet and expects that they will continue to develop and improve in 2020. 

"I don't think they have already shown their full potential."

Honda will want to boost their power output to match the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes and if they can do that they will have the best engine on the grid.
