Honda delivered on everything that was promised admits Horner

Red Bull and Honda can consider their first season as a partnership a success and even Christian Horner has admitted that. He believes for the first time the promises regarding their engine have been delivered.

Red Bull and Honda enjoyed a successful season together as they achieved three race wins for Max Verstappen. The Dutchman secured a first win for a Honda-powered car in 13 years, before winning in Germany and Brazil later in the season. It was also a successful year for Toro Rosso who scored two podiums.

After a challenging relationship with Renault, Horner believes their partnership with Honda has delivered in 2019.

“Obviously we saw an awful lot of spreadsheets over the years, from Viry [Renault’s engine headquarters] but never realised the potential of what was on those sheets,” Horner told Motorsport.com.
