The current position is not where we want to be. However, in difficult times, we rely on the challenging spirit that is part of Honda and HRC&#8217;s DNA. In 2015, we also faced a tough start, but we became stronger by never giving up.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/racer.com\/2026\/06\/23\/honda-offers-apology-after-armstrong-misses-out-on-road-america-victory\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Honda offers apology after Armstrong misses out on Road America victory (Racer)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;In the race we were very competitive and, up to the very end of the race, leading and in a great position. But then we failed with just three laps to go whilst leading. The racer in me would always rather fail, which happens unfortunately, whilst leading, but I am extremely sorry to Marcus and the valiant MSR team, just heartbreaking and we are extremely sorry for distress caused to Marcus and the team.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.primetimer.com\/features\/the-lincoln-lawyer-axed-as-netflix-cancels-11-shows-from-its-roster\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Lincoln Lawyer axed as Netflix cancels 11 shows from its roster (Prime Timer)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;F1: The Academy, a spin-off documentary series, will not be continuing despite its parent show\u2019s popularity, F1: Drive to Survive.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>RaceFans always endeavours to credit original sources.
