Honda's Racing Arm to Auction V-10 Parts from Senna's F1 Car

Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) will auction off engine parts from Ayrton Senna's 1990 Formula 1 race car.
The auction is part of HRC's new memorabilia business, which will eventually include other historic items from its motorsports collection.
The first auction will be held during Monterey Car Week in August, and available parts from Honda's RA100E V-10 include camshafts and pistons.
It used to be you'd go to a swap meet to get used engine parts, but Honda's racing division—Honda Racing Corporation, HRC for short—is taking that concept to the next level. Later this year, HRC will auction off actual parts from the Honda V-10 engine that powered Ayrton Senna's championship-winning Formula 1 race car during the 1990 season.
The auction, which will be held during Monterey Car Week this August, will help launch HRC's new memorabilia business. Not only will collectors and fans alike be able to bid on rare parts from Senna's race car (also driven by Gerhard Berger during the '90 F1 season), but they'll eventually have the chance to own other motorsports memorabilia, such as signed items and limited-edition collectibles.
As for the parts from Senna's F1 engine, HRC says the RA100E V-10 was disassembled at its factory in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The people who pulled it apart were also the original builders, so you can expect extra care was taken there. The parts that will be up for auction include camshafts, connecting rods, pistons, valve covers, and various other exterior and internal bits. They'll be put in display cases and sold with a certificate of authenticity so you can brag to all your buds that you own a piece of history.
HRC is also currently trying to source parts from iconic racing motorcycles, IndyCars, and even vehicles from its heritage collection to auction off or privately sell.
"We aim to make this a valuable business that allows fans who love F1, MotoGP, and various other races to share in the history of Honda's challenges in racing since the 1950s.' said HRC President Koji Watanabe. 'Including our fans to own a part of Honda's racing history is not intended to be a one-time endeavor, but rather a continuous business that we will nurture and grow.'

How Lewis Hamilton Made the F1 Movie Production More Expensive

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton contributed to the "F1" movie as a producer with the responsibility of increasing the film's realism. As a seven-time world champion, Hamilton knows a thing or two about Formula 1, having raced for years all over the world in several generations of cars. His extensive experience rivals only Fernando Alonso on the grid, making him a valuable adviser for the movie. The British driver took his job very seriously, making sure his thoughts were taken into consideration. Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton and Damson Idris attend the Apple Original Films & Warner Bros. Pictures "F1" World Premiere in Times Square on June 16, 2025 in New York City. Brad Pitt, Lewis Hamilton and Damson Idris attend the Apple Original Films & Warner Bros. Pictures "F1" World Premiere in Times Square on June 16, 2025 in New York City. Photo byHamilton demanded that the lead actors, Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, do several practice laps at different tracks to get a real feel for the cars and how they handle. He did not want to be a token producer, but rather to make the movie as true to the sport as possible. One of the movie producers, Jerry Bruckheimer, detailed the extensive scrutiny Hamilton provided and what he advocated for in the name of realism. "Lewis Hamilton saw a part of it and gave us a critique of how the drivers actually do various things," Bruckheimer said. "The level of specifics that he gave us, like in Silverstone in Turn 3 you're in second gear, and he could hear with his ear we [Pitt] were in third gear. "So it's that kind of thing that he's bringing to the movie. "And he said... when he finishes a race, especially like Singapore, where it's very hot, he can barely get out of the car, they lose 10 pounds... and it's not only him, it's all of them. "They're just completely exhausted [and] we're going to show what it takes to be an F1 driver." The filmmakers made several different decisions to enhance the realism, including using real racing cars, filming the movie at real tracks, and capturing real F1 teams for the background. All these elements further connect the movie to the real-life sport. While the film is better off with all the realism, the production costs went up as a result. "Everything that he has brought to this movie, I can't even express our thanks to him and all the folks from F1 who made this all possible," Bruckheimer added. "But the authenticity that he brings, we can't imagine what goes into what a driver does, and what the sport brings to an audience. "Sometimes we don't like to hear some of the things he says, because it costs us more money to fix things, but we're all in, we want to make it great, and he's certainly helping us." "F1" hits the big screen on June 27. Apple Films produced the movie, and Joseph Kosinski - of "Top Gun" fame - directed it.

Francesco Bagnaia "struggling a lot" after disappointing MotoGP Italian GP sprint

A downbeat Francesco Bagnaia said it was the 'same as always' as he again struggled with the front end of his bike during the Italian Grand Prix sprint race at Mugello. The factory Ducati rider started the sprint in second, but ultimately finished third behind team-mate and race winner Marc Marquez, as well as runner-up Alex Marquez. Advertisement This was despite him briefly leading in front of his home crowd at one point and Bagnaia is now 98 points behind championship leader Marc Marquez. 'Same as always,' said double world champion Bagnaia. 'I started well, then they overtook me. I get stuck behind, then I cannot close the gap, and I finish there where I am. 'It's like this from the start of the season. And honestly, I'm struggling a lot to do what I know I can do. I know that I can enter faster, I know I can do something that I've seen that others are doing. 'But I can't do it. I'm unable, and I'm struggling a lot to put speed inside the corners.' Francesco Bagnaia, Ducati Team Francesco Bagnaia, Ducati Team Bagnaia is yet to win a sprint race in 2025 with his only victory altogether coming at the Americas Grand Prix in Austin on 30 March. Advertisement That's a stark contrast to last year as he won 11 grands prix, including Mugello where he also took the sprint win, and Bagnaia explained that he is still having issues with the front of his Ducati. 'The front is moving a lot, it's locking a lot, it's understeering a lot,' added the 2024 championship runner-up. 'And it's a shame, because I was the only one that slowed the pace compared to last year. I was four, five tenths slower than last year when I won the sprint. 'Qualifying was very good. I was happy. I just did one mistake, and one little mistake cost me a bit. 'Then I started the race, and I was feeling good. I think, 'okay, I can fight'. But then after three or four laps, I finished the front tyre, and it was very tough then.' Advertisement Looking ahead to Sunday's grand prix, Bagnaia said: 'For tomorrow, let's see. It depends on the condition - looks will be a bit colder. 'I think that with double the distance, my problems with the front will be worse. It's the ninth GP, and more or less, the problem is always the same. So, we need to understand something in a different way.'
