Honda

If it's true, which it looks like it is, I didn't see it coming.

Bad days if it gets to there being less than 20 cars on the grid.

it is a bit of a bolt, but....

Upper management were told yesterday, but then everyone told tonight at 6pm.

Of all the manufacturers, Honda can afford it. So why pull out?

Anything to do with the fact the 2009 car is dog slow?

Hardly rocket science is it...

Rumours have been around since mid-Sept about other UK teams.

If Honda do give the team away to a decent new owner, and Mad Max's cheap Cosworth engine idea comes good my crystal ball says put a fiver on Prodrive being in F1 finally next year.

Unless, as often happens, my crystal ball has gone foggy.

According to the lunch time BBC news there are "three groups" already in talks with Honda about purchasing the team. I think they should put it on EBAY!
