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 :( 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″.

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?

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.
