Honda boss says Newey comments a 'misunderstanding'

Honda boss Koji Watanabe claimed Adrian Newey's comments about a lack of experience at the engine manufacturer were a "misunderstanding".

Honda have made a full-time comeback to F1 this year having ended their previous works partnership with Red Bull at the end of 2021, although the Japanese manufacturer continued to provide technical support for a power unit that claimed further world titles and race victories with the Milton Keynes-based team until the end of last year.
