No Honda in F1 !

This is sort of sobering news. All that money and people power just couldn't do it. Have to go back to the days of Ayrton Senna to recall some
success.

Kinda sad to see them go really.
Survival of the fittest though.

Too bad F1 is losing a team. The racing last year was the best it has been in years. I think the series is going in the right direction but I guess with the huge costs associated with running a team I wouldnt be surprised to see others drop out in the near future.

I think they had too much trouble with their game early on. I will miss Honda at the races and now I will miss the races as no more NA events.

The NY Times article tries to make their F1 pull-out a result of the economic crisis. It is instead a result of the team failing miserably in F1 the past few years despite spending an incredible amount of money, more than most teams. The economy was just the last tiny nudge to push them out. If they had been winning, or even an occassional podium, they would not have left.
