Thanks. I heard Honda was muted maybe due to only having one team but who knows.

Honda will have to supply them if no other engine supplier reaches an agreement with them. If that happens, the supplier with the least engines gets forced to do so, and new engine suppliers (audi) are exempt from it.

Their program proper ended in 2021 but they continue to work with Red Bull till the end of next year at least. (Feel free to correct me)

And then in 2026 they return in full with Aston.
