Speaking for himself and not the company, head of Honda Research and Development, Yoshiharu Yamamoto, told Autocar that when it comes to Formula One, "We do look up at those races and hope that one day we can take part again." In order for that one day to occur, a few things would need to happen: the rules would need to change and Honda would need to prove itself capable of winning in the World Touring Car Championship. Neither one is assured. The new rules Yamamoto is thought to be referring to are the F1 engine regulations coming into force in 2014 – the sport will swap 2.4-liter V8s for 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6s.
