Verstappen says engine manufacturer Honda 'never really left' F1 given its ties with his Red Bull team.
He said:"When we talk about the engine, we always refer to it as the Honda power unit."I'm just glad that they're coming back and they're committing again, like fully to be 100% present."
Gasly added his surprise at Honda's initial exit, the manufacturer having announced its intention to quit F1 before Verstappen was crowned drivers' champion with the Honda RA621H power unit.He said:"I was very surprised when they left after winning the world championship. I thought, 'OK, now it's their time to shine'… They had their own reasons to quit.
"Straight away they were like, 'OK, we still want to keep a footing and fund the deal with Red Bull to still be committed in the sport.'"They've got all the facilities, all the resources, to run like a top team in F1 and hopefully in the future that's something we can see."
