For the first time this year, a Honda engine has been turned on. This happened this week in the AT03 of AlphaTauri. The Faenza-based race team shared an audio clip of the 'fire-up' via its own social media channels. Listen in and enjoy!

Just like last season, the Red Bull Racing of Max Verstappen will be using the Honda engine this year. Last week the news came out that Honda might continue its engine collaboration with Red Bull and AlphaTauri until 2025.
