Three things you should know about Formula 1 this week

Honda's promising return to F1 as a power unit supplier for McLaren next year 

After a miserable four years of not being a contender for both drivers and constructors championship, the McLaren team decided to ditch the Mercedes-Benz partnership it had since the 1995 season, and bring back the iconic and reliable Japanese Honda engine. McLaren and Honda have been together before in Formula 1 between the 1988 and 1992 seasons, in which Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost won 4 drivers championships and 4 constructors championships. Now in 2015 they hope to achieve the same success it had back in the late 80's and early 90's with the British driver Jensen Button, and the Spaniard Fernando Alonso.

Stolen Red Bull trophies found in a lake


The Red Bull team headquarters in Milton Keynes, UK ,was raided on December 8 by an unknown group of men. Neither the facility or equipment inside was vandalized, but about 20 of the 60 trophies that were inside were stolen and recently found in a nearby lake in Sandhurst ,UK. The team who had won both the constructors and drivers championship four years in a row through the 2010 to the 2013 season, luckily didn't have the most important trophies stolen. The staff was absolutely devastated by the loss of the trophies that had taken many seasons to win. According to the police the criminals used a 4x4 to drive through the factories entrance. Strangely enough the 4 time world champion, Sebastian Vettel, visited the factory to say farewell to his former mechanics shortly before leaving to join  Ferrari for 2015.

Jensen Button has kept his seat from last year, Fernando Alonso is rejoining the team after leaving in 2009 for Ferrari, and the Danish driver, Kevin Magnussen has lost his seat as a main driver from last year. But Kevin still has a huge job next season which is to help the mechanics develop the new 2015 engine, especially with Honda's first take at the new formula 1 hybrid technology.
