Nick fry is the main man in terms of heading up the operations. Ross is team principal.

I saw Nick fry in Porsche Silverstone buy an brand new 911 with his Mrs last saturday, to me that spoke volumes.

I do like Rob’s suggestion of “I can’t beleive its not Honda”, but the way the team is going they’d be better off calling themselves “U-turn F1″. Actually “UF1″ is not bad, although maybe a little close to USF1. I like Xonda too, but maybe a little too close to Zonda, also gives Honda themselves too much credit.

But Brackley F1 is the most boring name ever and on no account should be adopted. Surely they can come up with something better than that? Although their livery of the last couple of years seems to suggest otherwise

When BAR started, I knew the team wouldn’t continue with that name because of the incoming ciggie advertising restrictions. And I was secretly hoping that the team would morph into a Honda and… Lotus partnership. Totally fanciful, I know, but wouldn’t it be great to see Lotus back?

Please, no more of up-and-coming single seater racers getting sidetracked into the DTM. First Di Resta and Jarvis, now Senna? These guys should all be in GP2.

Great news if it is true, and best wishes to anyone who finds themselves out of a job in the face of the deal.

After the terribly bland (2006 and 2008) or just plain terrible (2007) paint jobs, gotta wonder what the car will look like once it is ready to go with the sponsorship.

Absolutley it is a PR disaster. The worst part for Honda is that, if everything gose well with the FIA in the future, the new wave of cost-cutting measures will allow their competitors to saty in the sport and prosper, and it was all triggered by their sudden and complete withdrawl from the grid.
