yes it will be nice to see jenson competing with the front runners in the coming seasons.
It will also be nice to see Santa Claus when he stops by my place for a glass of whisky.

Fantastic news!

Now hopefully the first thing R. Brawn will do is axe that stupid swamp paint scheme...............if so, I'll be real happy.

Hey HONDA.........It's a race car! Not an advertisement for Al Gore's stupid propaganda!

Preach on!!!

They should sign Bruno Senna now and get him with the team. Brawn can make Senna the new MS and Honda can dominate like the late 80s, early 90s.

he said he needed a challenge and so choose team honda. toyota, spiker/force1 or others just weren't up or i should say down enough for ross. if they can develop a better chassie and get it in the wind tunnel pointed in the right direction this winter then mayde team honda will be racing in the mid-pack for 08. as he said, the drivers are not the problem.

When I first heard this I thought it was an April Fool's joke. I never would have guessed this move. I am sure it'll be great for Honda. Ross knows how to run a F1 effort and it should show next season.

Congrats Marco, your unrestrained optimism may be warranted!

Let's not forget, bringing Ross on is step one, making the car into a competitive racecar is step 2. Step one was easy, step 2 will not be such...

I agree, but one must crawl before 1 walks

Agreed, and I really think Ross is going to be able to do great things there as long as he is given free reign. If for some reason he is held back or rtestricted he might not last long because he will not be able to be effective. If Fry does not stand in his way, this could be a huge step forward in turning this once legendary team around.

Now, aboiut that driver lineup...

Wow, hopefully I can start cheering for Honda sooner rather than later now!
