Is Honda planning on staying in F1?
Yes, they are one of the manufacturers who committed to the 2026 engine regulations and will be powering Aston Martin.

Lots of rumours linking Tsunoda to Aston because of this as Honda have backed most of his career.
 


TMU, the question Horner was responding to was asked in a way of, "Why weren't you doing more for Daniel?" & this was his way of saying he had been b/c he apparently shared it was Marko who wanted Daniel out after Spain. Another moment highlighting the internal power struggle Red Bull has been having this year.
 
What else does the journalist expect though? They gave him the audition, and he broke his wrist right away. He then got another chance and got out gunned by Tsunoda.

It is super interesting watching Red bull implode though ngl.
 
Not at all does it surprise me that this was yet another Marko decision (the same guy who DIDN'T think Lawson was good enough..and yet, guess who Daniel was replaced with). Swear this guy is single handily the reason Red Bull's Driver program is broken in the first place..

Is it a tad bit over-reactionary to say I hate Red Bull now?

The entire way this has been handled should put every single one of their junior drivers on permanent guard and looking out for their futures with their best interests in mind, not Red Bull's. Now, Marko is claiming Danny knew well in advance that Liam was replacing him, which actually (and quite literally) flies in the face of the way the race weekend was handled. You could see Daniel's mannerisms and attitude change throughout the weekend in real-time!

And here's Swedish F1 Journalist Scott Mitchell Malm's recount on how things transpired during the Singapore weekend:

Just...utterly perplexed how this is the way things played out without any care or consideration of the way Toro Rosso played its part in 🤬 over both Danny and Yuki. And if they think the same won't happen to Liam then, goddammit, make me the Team Principal if they're that naïve.
