Pérez: “History is in the making” with Honda

McLaren is in difficulty this year with its MP4-28, but the British team is now looking towards its future after having formalized its partnership with Honda which will make its return in F1 from 2015. Jenson Button will reunite with a manufacturer with whom he has experienced great moments in his career, while Sergio Pérez is enthusiastic about the memories that evoke McLaren-Honda in the world of F1. “I was born in 1990, the year Ayrton Senna won the second of his three titles driving for McLaren-Honda”, underlines Sergio Pérez. “I have always grown up knowing how much this legend lives in the hearts and minds of motorsport fans everywhere. Obviously, Ayrton is my hero as is the case for millions of people in Central and South America. This announcement not only brings back the fantastic memories of that time, it is also the start of a new era that could be even more exciting. »

Sergio Pérez is also looking towards the future that Honda's return with McLaren can offer when F1 has adopted its new engine. If the success of this partnership is not certain, the experience and success of Honda as an engine manufacturer allows Checo to be optimistic for the future of Woking. “Honda is one of the biggest engine manufacturers in F1. He had so much success in motorsport. I believe it is the right time for Honda to return to F1. But I will go further by saying that McLaren-Honda has been one of the greatest partnerships in motorsport, which all of F1 deeply respects. This is why every person at McLaren and Honda is so determined to create a new era of World Championship dominance for the second time. Given that McLaren is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, this announcement takes place far in the future. History is in progress. »
