Given the rat is outpacing Button in a year old car Honda surely must be starting to smell the coffee.. So who does the buck stop with?

Either Nick Fry couldn't organise a good time in a brothel or Button might not be this world champion in the making everyone talks him up to be...Which is it???

Management by committee does not work, Japanese suits 6,000KM away don't know whats going on, Fry is an idiot and JB has sold his soul out to Honda. Its a big mess and makes Honda look very stupid against Toyota...their real rivals in the motor business.

They have a stability problem under braking, both JB and RB. It'll be sorted once they get back to Europe or even by the next race.

Toyota will be behind Honda in the race and behind Williams as well.

Funny how Toyota beat Honda and Williams. Williams will improve (slowly) but Honda are at last years pace with the major teams all looking to pull away in May! Its going to get messy in Brackley and in Japan. What no sponsors too, ouch!

The no sponsorship thing has been known for years - their newly appointed (in 06) director of such things managed to get zero deals. Honda F1 is a total embarresment right now and I believe the only reason they are jumping on the eco band wagon is because they have no other significant 3rd party commercial sponsors.

What is it with the Japanese that allow themselves to get leg lifted by UK motorsport companies? Prodrive have been taking the mickey out of Subaru for years and now Honda is nothing more than a second rate team.

Oh and if anyone works there can you make the place look a bit less like a scrap yard??

They haven't. The race (the thing that matters) hasn't been run yet.

Nice one.

Well done for slagging off British motorsport sunshine. You're looking like a bit of a pillock.

You're sounding like a bitter ex-employee...

Probably glad to get rid of him, his understanding of motorsports is rubbish.

I think he must be Geoff Willis.

The Honda F1 technical does need improving compared to the facilities at Williams, McLaren and Renault. The Prodrive facilities are pretty good and Subaru still sell loads of cars from the rally association, successful or not.

Subaru sell every car that they can import but then because the cars are outside of the EU they can't import very many (in any EU country)...so not that hard really is it?

I'm sure Nick Fry is a smashing bloke, but he does look like a chap who would wear grey shoes and terylene trousers given half a chance.

Is he a clone of Whitmarsh, perchance?

Nick Fry - grinning ninny

Honda F1 by some accounts are behind the other teams in their facilities

Geoff Willis - they seem to have gone downhill since he left...perhaps he was taking the design team in the right direction after all...

Honda Motor Company are fairly hands off - they are far more hands on with Aguri (they built the tubs and all but selected the drivers)
