well… i bet the results this year were a major factor in their withdrawal from the F1. I guess the team had bad management, poor results and the guys from Honda spent a lot with it each year. When you have a yearly budget of $500 mil and win only 13-14 you aren’t too interested to invest more in that sector.

Such a tragedy. Honda has dabbled in F1 since the 60’s with much success and it’s just really sad to hear that they’re totally pulling out of F1. But somehow you would expect Honda to be the first casualty. Firstly, Honda along with Toyota are prime examples of companies who try to keep their costs down to a minimum and naturally, are market leaders at it. But more importantly, unlike Toyota, Honda has a minimum number of sponsers for their F1 team. Their green initiative has always ruled the day and the $300Mil each year has come out of their own pockets.
