I bet Honda will win as well.. BUTTON ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way though
However, this VP failed to highlight some real issues that plagued honda in the past. Personnel !!!!!!
Uprooting and transporting Japanese engineers to england was devastatingly difficult for some.
Uprooting and transporting English engineers to work in Japan was difficult.
Again, BAR and HONDA still have NOT bridged the gap as to when Ron Dennis ran McLaren Honda.
That was one of Ron's main goal was the "people" and that is why they were extremely successful at giving Senna the best car and giving the Senna the changes that were needed to the car.
Again, not through Pollock , Davids, and now Fry, I still don't see them attempting to realize what Ron did so well, was too bridge the gap of the workforce.
Most F1 fans fail to realize how much "behind the scenes" work it takes and is involved. No one reports how that the engineer would leave early out of the wind tunnel to run to his hotel room phone to hear his wife when he could have stayed an extra session ? All these little things like this, do have an affect on Sunday's race. It is my only wish for Honda, the Exec's pay more attention and be more hands on like Ron.

Marco, you are the true essence of "TIFOSIGUCHI" . I love that phrase.
Yea I think Honda will win again but I'm not a Button fan. Ok he brought the car home to show or place but where's the fight to win? And let me ask you this one, Which factory team gets its F1 win first, Honda or Toyota? I know your answer, Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuu hooooooooo tton.
