The problem that Honda has, is that in the eyes of the general public, and not us gearheads, is they hear that honda pulled out and then
Honda went from perennial back marker to 1-2 finish by changing the engine to Mercedes.

They are not going to understand airflow diffusers and chassis set up etc. just the big obvious change.

Ever since the founder of Honda passed away, the company is slowly going in the wrong direction.
All I can say is I hope they don't destroy the CR-Z, and when it comes out it is indeed hybrid + sporty car.

Honda chiefs in Tokyo were apparently the first ones on the phone to congratulate Ross Brawn and the drivers.

I think Honda made a conscious financial decision. They are a very conservative company in some respects which is why the folded shop so they could focus on core activities. I for one definitely see them coming back to F1.
