Default Frank Williams needs an engine supplier

This is a nice read.
I wonder what engine program cheap Frank will go for?
I suspect he could get the Honda engines for cheap based upon their performance...

I doubt Honda would be willing to do a deal with Frank in light of the Jenson-gate debacle. Also, Honda's engines are OK, its really the chasis that has held them back this year, oh yeah, and getting caught "cheating."

Williams can always return to Cosworth for engines.

Actually I think almost the opposite, I suspect Frank may very well get the Honda engines because of the Jenson-gate situation. If Honda looks for a second team they may very well want to put JB into the new team because of his experience, JB has already made it clear he would like to be on Frank's team and Frank is always looking for the low cost option and I think Honda motors will go for less than the Cosworth after all Red Bull is driving up their value.

Now as far as the chasis holding up BAR Honda, sorry, I'm not buying the idea that the chasis is making the engines unrelaible.
