Spirit was a British constructor founded by John Wickham and Gordon Coppuck that raced in Formula 1 from 1983 to 1985. It was the car in which Honda made its return to Formula 1 in 1983 with a turbo engine, driven by Stefan Johansson, who took seventh place at the 1983 Dutch Grand Prix. Mauro Baldi and Huub Rothengatter also drove for the team, which started 23 Grands Prix and never scored a championship point.
