The future of Honda in Formula 1
The future of Honda in Formula 1 is quite secure. The interesting thing is that rumours continue to circulate in Formula 1 circles that the Japanese manufacturer is going to be buying British American Racing from British American Tobacco within a matter of weeks.
The move would make enormous sense for all concerned because BAT is becoming more and more restricted on what it can do in F1 because of global tobacco bans. The powers at be believe a switch from BAT to Honda would strengthen Honda's resolve to win races and the World Championship because the company would no longer be hiding behind a customer team and would be a team in its own right, similar to Toyota, Renault and Ferrari.
We will just have to wait and see.

Yeah, and hurry up with the new NSX while they're at it, please.

I hope it happens! It's just a matter of time before Honda is back on top of F1, right Douglas? 
Step one- own and manage the team
Step two- fire David Richerd's ass
