Honda has reached a “very high level” with its new Formula 1 power unit which will allow Red Bull to be able to win races with them, according to Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost.
Although Toro Rosso collected many grid penalties last year due to power unit replacements, Tost believes that has allowed Honda to accelerate the development of its design.
Honda: “I must say that all the expectations I put into them they delivered and I’m quite sure that they will close the gap to the top teams and that Red Bull Racing will be able to win races with them and that we will also gain a lot of advantages out of this co-operation.”
