Shintaro Orihara: Alonso trusts Honda
The chief engineer and head of the Honda Racing team, Shintaro Orihara, stated that Fernando Alonso still trusts the Japanese manufacturer, despite a challenging start to the new season. In response, Honda intends to do everything possible to help the Spanish driver win another championship title before the end of his Formula 1 career.
Shintaro Orihara: "We are working with two drivers, and a big plus for us is that they provide different feedback. This allows us to gather twice as much information, which helps improve the car's handling and energy management.
Fernando has immense experience, so his feedback is always very valuable. He has 20 years of experience behind him, so when he says, 'We need to use the energy this way before entering the corner,' we must listen to his opinion.
After each session, we hold a briefing, and Fernando has a huge motivation and desire to make the car faster. He has many demands from us, and we always listen to his opinion. It is very important for us to carefully consider his feedback. One of the advantages of working with Fernando is his immense motivation to make the car faster.
Our goal is for him to win the title. We work closely together and know that he is a fantastic driver. He has a great desire to succeed, and he trusts Honda. Therefore, we want to give him everything he needs. This is certainly our goal."
