Should F1 teams help Honda and give them extra upgrades in 2026?

The very idea of allowing them to break the cost cap is ludicrous! Honda is one of the teams that wanted this nonsense and now they screwed it up? Tough luck. If they want to turn tail and run, let them do it. We all expect them to quit if F1 goes to a V8 ICE and a much smaller hybrid. Let them leave!

Of course not! It is a competition and you do not aid you rivals!

Outside of setting a bad precedent, which would be a valid reason, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't. Now I'm not saying Honda or Aston Martin deserve the help, but their performance has been one of the worst things to see this season.

No, the other F1 teams should not be 'kind' to Honda for messing up with their 2026 regulations engine. Honda need to give Aston Martin a better power unit through the same means that every other engine constructor has available to them.
