The entire shares of HRF1, held by Honda GP Holdings Ltd., the UK-based holding company for HRF1 that managed all operations of Honda’s F1 racing, were sold to Ross Brawn.


As a result of this sale, the team ownership has transferred to Mr. Brawn, who plans to have the new team compete for this year’s FIA Formula One World Championship.

We offer our sincerest wishes for the new team which will be led by Ross.”
