Honda will introduce a new generation engine for the 2002 FIA Formula One World Championship season. The RA002E is lighter, more powerful and has a wider V angle than the 2001 engine, which means a lower centre of gravity. The structure for ongoing development work of the engine has been strengthened.
Following Craig Pollocks decision to step down as Managing Director and Team Principal, David Richards was announced as new Team Principal.
B.A.R Hondas race driver line-up remains unchanged for the 2002 season. 1997 World Drivers Champion Jacques Villeneuve enters the fourth year of his career at B.A.R, underlining his strong desire to help the team realise its true potential. He will again be joined by Frenchman Olivier Panis, for his second year with B.A.R Honda.
