They will have their own package in some form for the new owners but I am unsure as to what will stay. ie if the engines come out of Japan, there wont be any future involvement...

So what do you reckon will happen to Honda then Garry?

telboy · #24 19-01-2009

I reckon they'll get bought out by some far eastern millionaire.

Dave Richards just isn't intrested yet until the cost cutting measures show that they'll work.

I think you could be right, they folded after mastercard realised that they weren't getting great value for their money!

In the 80's though there were enough teams for some to fail to get through pre-qualifying on the Friday, let alone make it to Sunday!

Unbelievably Minardi did well enough in their first few seasons to even be challenging for pole!
Anyone else remember Leyton House, Footwork or Andrea Moda?

Garry Spice · #28 20-01-2009

a few prob with honda making the grid are,no chassis,engine,gearbox or kers.....razor for jenson! they wont make it or if they do they be miles off the pace.

Minardi were ace....or should I say PierLuigi Martini was ace. Getting that Minardi near poles and wins took real skill.

Leyton house march, I can always remember Mauricio Gugelemin launching it on to Mansells Ferrari at the start of the french GP in '89.

...look at all the cars!!! a full grid of 26, those were the days!

Footwork were ok. sort of mid field. Can I recall Aguri Suzuki running a marshall over in hungary?

...nope found it. it was aguri suzuki being hit by the 'safety' vehicle.-

Andrea Moda were just rubbish.

I always liked the Onyx team and the Simtek, now that was a sexy looking F1 car.

...and the original jordan-

Garry Spice · #31 20-01-2009

drowl.......7up jordan.

Garry Spice · #32 20-01-2009

hmm,sounds abit rude.sorry

Team No Idea · #33 20-01-2009

Bring back the turbo charge era !! oh yes indeed !
Old school F1 rules! when men were men and sheep were scared! and F1 cars had gear sticks and bugger all driver protection !

telboy · #34 20-01-2009

I can remember when Michael Schumacher tested the Schecter Ferrari from the early '80's-late '70's.

He said that it scared him!! because there was no protection in the cockpit and it was difficult to drive!

Nancy!

Honda have a full 09 package to run. They are continuing with low key testing. I know someone on the team. Car is on the sussy rig right now. They wont race without new backing/owners.

Most of the current Honda staff Dave Richards had a hand in recruiting, when he was team principle..

Them were definitley the days Terry, some of the in car footage, esp round Monaco, is fantastic with proper gear changes, none of the fancy electronics. The current drivers have it too easy!

Favorite F1 moment?...... silverstone 1987. mansell leads until he gets a puncture, nips in for new tyres and comes out in 2nd place behind Mr Piquet with about 18 laps or so to go.
Mansell breaks the lap record 11 times to catch and pass piquet with only about 1 lap to go and take the win......... the cars engine had meltdown after the race and had to be thrown away such was the pace Mansell drove..........

next fav moment, Mansell passing Berger for 2nd place at mexico 1990 in the Ferrari, absolutley harry flatters round OUTSIDE on the last corner on the last lap..awesome.

I was born in 1980 and grew up around 80's and early 1990's F1.... Those day of heros seem to be gone.... yes its still got some exitement and drama but nothing like the moments that are etched into my mind from years ago
