F1 Fanatic

BMW and Honda definately had two of the most powerful engines in the V10 era at the early part of the 2000′s. I’m not sure why they seemed to fall back when the V8′s and the engine freeze came in. Perhaps something to do with Honda and BMW having their own teams by that point?

@CounterStrike- Those seasons weren’t as boring as seeing posts by people like you failing to accept that the German fellow won 5 titles in a row.

With regards to the main topic- I see Honda returning first, perhaps when the next set of engine regulations are brought in. They usually can’t stay away from F1 for long, so they may well rejoin in the future. I have a gut feeling that Peugeot would be the last to return.

I definitely feel that the IRL isn’t doing much for Honda’s image. Being the sole engine supplier for a series that unfortunately comes across as amateurish (at least to me) isn’t the best evidence to fall back on when you want to claim your cars are race engineered or however they may phrase it.
And before I get yelled at, I personally watch IRL. In other words, I’m only taking a shot at it because I want to see it improve from where it is now.
