Very interesting news. Was this expected? - I don't remember hearing that Brawn was considering Honda as one of his options. I thought the man was a Ferrari lifer.
Not sure, first i heard of it was here and i thought it would be unlikely. It would be really nice if they could entice FA to come over and help Honda! Let's hope

Championship soon to follow. The real RB is going to make a huge difference at Honda. On the other hand FA would be a nightmare I'm not interested in having. Without any TC next year Jenson is going to show his true colors. Even with the short period of time RB will put a decent car under him so they will do well. Honda needs to find and secure a young talent that will be ready in two years for the first of the fully RB managed cars to hit the tarmac.

It is a good day to be a Honda fan

"The great thing at Honda is that there are no preconceived ideas and no budget restraints. There is a willingness to provide the resource and support, and that is not so common in F1."

Remember what happened the last time RB had no budget restraints.??

surprising but excellent news. Now Jenson can finally get the car to make him a regular podium finisher and who knows, maybe a win or two thrown in. I can only hope they build and manage the team in a more David Richards manner. Bananas are back on Sunday afternoons !!!
