Has It All Gone Pear-Shaped At Brackley?
When Honda first withdrew from Formula One back in early December of last year, the motoring company’s chiefs said they would do all they would to sell the squad on and keep the employees safe in their positions. Since then, the ride has been bumpy to say the least while there have been some optimistic [...]
Lucas Di Grassi To Also Test For Honda
Honda have invited Renault test driver Lucas Di Grassi to their evaluating test session at Circuit de Catalunya later this month. It was announced earlier in the week that Bruno Senna would also be present as the team try to decide who should race alongside Jenson Button in 2009. However, with a commanding points haul [...]
F12008: Honda Endure A Season To Forget
Once a developing force in Formula One, Honda have slipped ever further backwards in recent years, slowly encroaching on the back row of the grids and scoring less and less points.

Is Aguri Suzuki Upset With The Wrong Man?
Honda’s current team principal, Ross Brawn, is a man I truly respect. He may no longer be with a championship winning team, but his work ethic, abilities and performance haven’t appeared to slip following his ship-jumping antics. Perhaps it is too early to judge his performance at Honda; we need to wait to see what [...]
F12008: Honda
How Honda got 2007 so horrendously wrong is quite simply beyond belief. This time last year, most of us knew and had accepted that the RA107 wasn’t going to be a great car, but I don’t think many of us expected the junior team to wipe the floor with the factory team for most of [...]
