Overview
- Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda is confirmed to pilot Honda’s RA272 in an exhibition run during the 2025 Mexican Grand Prix weekend.
- The showcase revisits the Circuito Hermanos Rodríguez, where Richie Ginther delivered Honda’s first Formula 1 victory in 1965.
- Honda Racing Corporation president Koji Watanabe called the Mexico run deeply meaningful and a chance to reflect on the company’s racing legacy.
- The outing is ceremonial rather than competitive, and Tsunoda previously sampled the RA272 at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed under careful guidance.
- The RA272 is renowned for its 1.5‑liter V12 that revs to around 13,000 rpm, a defining feature of Honda’s early F1 engineering.
