Default Honda to axe Formula One project?

Got this from F1-Live.com. I hope that BAR-Honda does well enough this season to have the stay in F1. That being said, I also thing it would be nice if Honda could get attached to a better team, or build their own car like Toyota is doing. Anyway, here ya go -

BAR needs to dump Button . . . . . . . . he's just a bad driver hindering their progress . . . . . . . .

Well, I think BAR and Honda both have their problems right now. Button needs to step up and drive. I'm not so sure he's a terrible driver, but I think he needs to push himself farther than he did last season. Also, Honda needs to fix their engines so they stop blowing up. That being said, BAR-Honda did set a Lap Record at Barcelona (even if they were running a low fuel load).

If Button is so bad why is Williams looking to rehire him after Monty leaves this year . Jacque must be laughing his ass off . Life has to be good for Jacque right now net worth of over 110,000,000.00 (from Fortune magazine ) courtesy of BAR. He has won Indy and is a F1 World Champ. Plus Toyota is spanking Honda with much less development time.

BAR beat Toyota in the championship standings in the last two years.

I have a feeling that this season is going to be very interesting. Everyone is saying the Championship is pretty open, and in inclined to agree.

I humbly disagree ;Jacques Villeneuve was the stumbling block and now that he is departed there should be no finger pointing
