Si te hablo de la presencia de Honda en la F1 seguro que te vienen a la memoria los títulos, no todos, pero muchos de ellos, de Prost, Senna, Verstappen… en resumen, una historia de éxitos. Pues, ni mucho menos. Honda, como motorista, ha tenido grandes éxitos y momento muy difíciles, tanto como para decir adiós a la F1 más de una vez… y te lo vamos a contar. Y es que Honda comenzó en la F1 mucho antes de lo que imaginas. Ya en el año 1963 vino a disputar la F1 y además no como motorista, sino con sus propios coches. A Soichiro Honda le apasionaban los retos y la competición. Primero comenzó en las motos en 1959, donde a pesar de unos comienzos difíciles, enseguida comenzó a cosechar resultados, y luego pensó que el mayor reto era la F1… y lo fue… Solo tres años después de lanzar su primer coche de calle Honda se embarcó en la F1 siendo de los pocos, como BRM y Ferrari, que creaban sus propios motores y chasis, absolutamente todo. Y salvo los pilotos, todos eran japoneses. El primer modelo, creado en 1962, se llamó 271 y contaba con un motor impresionante, un V12 a 60 grados de solo 1495 cm3, el reglamente limitaba la cilindrada a 1,5 litros, que sobrepasaba los 200 CV. En su segundo año ganaron en el G.P. de México con Richie Ginther y tras un año de sequía vencieron en el GP de Italia con nada menos que John Surtees al volante.El último monoplaza de F1 enteramente Honda fue el RA302 con motor ya de 3 litros y más de 430 CV. Lo curioso es que era de refrigeración por aire. El coche debutó en Gran Premio de Francia de 1968 con Jo Schlesser con la desgracia de que falleció en la segunda vuelta. Este accidente y el hecho de que Surtees dejó el equipo, decidió a Honda a dejar la F1… por el momento. En 1983, 15 años después de su retirada, Honda anunció que volvía como motorista a la F1 con un motor 1.500 cm3 turboalimentado para el equipo Spirit… Pero el Spirit-Honda era en realidad un Honda. Ofrecieron al equipo Williams sus motores y en el GP de Dallas de 1984, con Keke Rosberg al volante, llegó la primera victoria de Honda como motorista. En 1985 ganaron 3 Grandes Premios y todo hacía presagiar que iban a llegar grandes éxitos… y llegaron. En 1986 el famoso y espectacular reventón de Nigel Mansell en el GP de Australia en Adelaida privó a Honda de hacer doblete. Williams-Honda ganó el Mundial de constructores, pero Alain Prost, con su McLaren-Porsche, les “robo” la cartera en el Mundial de pilotos… Un pinchazo que valía por un Mundial. Sin problemas, se desquitaron en 1987 cuando ya hicieron doblete con Piquet. Y cambiaron de aires. Entre 1988 y 1991 Honda lo gana todo. Se dice que “empujado” por Senna, el equipo McLaren decide cambiar los motores Porsche por los motores Honda. Un acierto, porque los McLaren-Honda no solo lo ganaron todo en esos cuatro años, sino que despedazaron todos los récords. El equipo ganó esos 4 mundiales y los pilotos se los repartieron de forma desigual, el de 1989 fue “de aquella manera” para Prost, los de 1988, 1990 y 1991 para uno de los mejores pilotos de todos los tiempos. Williams había apostado por el nuevo motor Renault, una apuesta de Frank Williams que al principio parecía arriesgada pero que demostró ser todo un acierto. El año 92 fue un desastre para el equipo McLaren-Honda. Los motores Renault se mostraron muy competitivos, pero mucho, y el nuevo chasis del Williams FW14B con suspensiones activas se mostró a otro nivel. Por fin Nigel Mansell pudo ganar un título que se le resistía y que, en mi opinión, se merecía. La industria japonesa del automóvil comenzó una crisis a comienzo de los años 90… no era el mejor momento para gastar en la F1, pero si se ganaba, compensaba. Pero perder ante Renault y de una forma casi aplastante, decidió a Honda dejar de nuevo la F1… por el momento. Si, porque la empresa Mugen, especializada en preparación de motores Honda sí siguió como motorista digamos que en equipos de “segunda división” sin ánimo de ofender. Era el caso de equipos como Ligier, Jordan, Footwork o Prost. Y a finales de los 90 Honda decide regresar, saca al ingeniero de motores Kyle Petryshen de HRC y ficha nada menos que a Harvey Postlewaite como diseñador y jefe de equipo, un lujo. El nuevo RA099 diseñado por Postlewaite, construido por Dallara y conducido por Verstappen, Jos, el padre, no Max, se mostró rápido y competitivo. Todo iba bien hasta que de nuevo la mala suerte se cebó en el equipo Honda, porque durante unos ensayos en Barcelona el bueno de Harvey sufrió un infarto fatal… y Honda abandonó… otra vez a medias. Tras la cancelación del proyecto Honda RA099 de 1999, Honda volvió como motorista al año siguiente. Suministró motores al equipo “British American Tobacco”, más conocido por BAR desde el 2000 hasta 2004 y a Jordan entre 2001 y 2002. No fue una etapa muy fructífera salvo el último año con BAR, el 2004, en el que lograron muchos podios y un segundo puesto en constructores por detrás de Ferrari. En 2005 Honda compra el 55 por ciento de BAR y vuelve ya como equipo Honda. El retorno fue exitoso, con la victoria en el GP de Hungría de Jenson Button. Pero el 2007 fue desastroso y ni el fichaje de Ross Brawn, exingeniero de Michael Schumacher en Ferrari, consiguió que el equipo saliera del bache. A finales de 2008 Honda anuncia que, a causa de la crisis económica, Honda abandona la F1… era la cuarta vez… En el 2015 se reedita el dúo invencible de los 90, porque Honda para a motorizar a los McLaren… pero faltaban Prost y Senna en la ecuación. A pesar de contar con pilotos Campeones del Mundo, como Jenson Button y nuestro Fernando Alonso, el dúo no funcionó y McLaren deja a Honda en 2018… lo cual fue una bendición. ¿Por qué una bendición? Porque Honda pasó a motorizar al equipo B de Red Bull, entonces Toro Rosso y la escudería principal ve que esos motores funcionan y muy bien y en 2019 los usan para sus coches de Red Bull y su piloto estrella, Max Verstappen. En 2019 Honda se convierte en el suministrador de motores de Red Bull… aunque no lo parezca. Y ahora explico el porqué de esta frase. Por fin en 2021, Honda ganó el título de pilotos con Max Verstappen. La frase viene porque en 2022, 2023 y 2024 Red Bull corrió con un motor bajo el nombre de Red Bull Power Trains, pero que realmente eran motores fabricados por Honda. Así que para mí Honda gano dichos títulos aunque no se muestren en las estadísticas de manera oficial. Conclusión. Seguramente la historia de Honda demuestra esa famosa frase que se aprende más de los fracasos quede los éxitos. Honda en la F1 desde luego no es Ferrari, pero sin duda parece difícil imaginar una F1 sin esta marca de motores, que ha estado presente tantos años, aunque de forma intermitente. Porque en Honda tienen a gala que son el mayor productor de motores térmicos del Mundo y que hacen los mejores motores térmicos del Mundo. Y la F1 es el mejor lugar donde demostrarlo…

In this episode of The No Name RC Podcast, Lefty sits down with one of the fastest and most exciting 1/8th scale off-road racers in the world – Juan Carlos Canas aka JC3. The young Spanish phenom opens up about his RC journey, from humble beginnings in Malaga to becoming a two-time European Champion and one of the top international threats in nitro and ebuggy racing. Canas reflects on his rise through the ranks, his early days with Mugen, and his big move to Sworkz.

Get to know JC3 off the track too – from his hobbies like mountain biking and paddle to where he hopes to travel next.

In this powerful episode of Autism for Badass Moms, we sit down with Susie Thomas, a dedicated mother, cosmetologist of 21 years, and licensed massage therapist of 14 years, balancing work and family life in Las Vegas, Nevada. Susie and her husband, Gerard, are parents to three children—Caydell (19), diagnosed with ADD; Mugen (7), who has sensory processing disorder; and Saya (4), who was diagnosed with autism at just 22 months.Susie opens up about how their journey into autism began in the middle of COVID, a time filled with uncertainty and struggles. With Caydell navigating mental health challenges, including suicidal thoughts and self-harm, and both Mugen and Saya requiring different levels of support, Susie often felt pulled in multiple directions, trying to ensure each of her children received the attention and care they needed. Through all the challenges, Susie has gained a profound perspective on life and parenting, learning to see the world through Saya's eyes. She shares how this experience has strengthened their family and shaped her belief that in order to truly understand autism, we must learn to “hear what isn't said.”This episode is a must-listen for parents navigating multiple diagnoses, mental health struggles, and the emotional weight of advocating for their children. Susie's story is raw, real, and filled with wisdom that will inspire and empower other badass autism moms on their own journeys.Connect with Susie:-Instagram: @sayautism (Saya's journey) | @famugenListen Now & Subscribe: Don't miss this heartfelt conversation!
