This entry covers Honda's own works team in Formula 1. Honda first raced from 1964 to 1968, winning the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix with Richie Ginther and the 1967 Italian Grand Prix with John Surtees. It returned as a works team from 2006 to 2008 after buying BAR, and Jenson Button won the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix in the wet. The team started 88 Grands Prix, with 3 wins and 9 podiums, before Honda withdrew at the end of 2008. Its team was then sold and became Brawn.
