Honda chief moved on after disastrous F1 season

HONDA’S chief motorsport officer Yasuisha Arai will be replaced by Yusuke Hasegawa as the head of the Japanese giant’s Formula One activities after a disastrous return to the sport last season.

Honda supplies the engine in its partnership with McLaren, but former world champions Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button were left lagging at the back of the grid in 2015 as they finished second last in the constructors’ championship. “McLaren-Honda had a tough 2015, but improved significantly during the season. I’m looking forward to this new chapter in 2016,” Hasegawa said in a statement. Arai will move to a new research and development role from March 1.
