Nick Fry may not know that of course... He may have taken the flak for the Honda board, but is it enough to save his own job? Methinks not. And given the reactions F1 fans are giving now, I'm pretty sure they'll realize Nick won't be missed all that much by the fans (especially when you compare him to, say, Ross Brawn).

So Nick Fry takes the bad publicity and gets the blame, nobody notices the faceless Honda board members standing behind him. Gratitude? Nah, once the belly is cut, the second lops off his head...

I'll buy that ! Nick is a manager where Nick is an engineer (with doubtless management qualities) and I do believe, like you, that Nick was speaking on behalf on Honda's top executives. The japanese don't talk to much and they probably are more than happy that someone else takes the blow. Future will tell anyway... Yep ! I’ll buy that !
