Not to be dismissive of the contribution from the former Honda employees now at RBPT, but the overall R&D of the existing and future PUs ceased to be Honda at the end of 2021.

With the involvement of Ben Hodgkinson, Steve Blewett, Omid Mostaghimi, Pip Code, Anton Mayo and Steve Brodie - the next RBPT PU is as much a Mercedes design as a Honda one.

To describe it as being designed and built by Honda employees TUPEd over is a bit disingenuous.

Thanks CRM, you've saved me from having to Google what TUPE stood for!
