The Honda Formula 1 R&D operations will soon be based in a new facility to be built in Milton Keynes, UK.
Milton Keynes Development Partnership has agreed a deal with NL Property to build out the new factory for Honda at Grampian Gate. Honda has returned to F1 racing this season, supplying V6 turbo hybrid power units to McLaren. According to MKweb, Honda’s intention is to develop a facility at Winterhill adjacent to its existing Mugen Honda unit that will house the main R&D function for their push into F1 engine technology. The city of Milton Keynes also houses the Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Technology factories. The new Honda facility will create approximately 35 full-time jobs, which will be a mixture of high-skilled engineering positions and support staff and by 2018 it is expected to house 65 full time staff.
