This has been confirmed. Nick Fry & Ross Brawn have until the end of March to find a buyer before the umbilical is cut.

The economic downturn affects everything...

The grid just won't feel right without Honda...

No more Honda F1 for the foreseeable future.

I know....I'm so sad, that I just went through a six pack of beer. Hoping this is all a bad dream. I feel bad for Button & Barichello.
