    This is rather low. Not quite McLaren-low, but a real lousy move on Honda's part. They only have themselves to blame--one of the largest budgets in F1 and their car is atrocious. Don't take it out on your customer team. Wonder how they felt when Sato still passed Button on track for position at Spa. :D

    I was under the impression that the customer team is suppose to operate on its own when it comes to chassis development once the the transaction took place, as they are suppose to operate as two independent teams. This does not appear to be the case according to your post, did I misunderstood the rules here? TIA.

    $100 million fine to Honda, loss of all WCC points, but drivers are allowed to keep theirs.

    Super Aguri use Honda wings?! I always thought they just got their engines... sounds really strange, 'cause if they got Honda's wings, their aerodynamic package and thus nearly the whole car would have to be the same

    Spyker said all along that the Super Aguri and the STR are clones of their A teams. It really is unfair to Spyker, because they go through the pain of building their own crap car.:)

    They did really well in Spa, Sutil was up to 11th or 12th. Not really fair to them that their direct competitors are hand me down cars.

    LOL! That should be the standard penalty for ANY wrong-doing in F1 now. Oh man that would have me in tears (b/c of so much laughing).

    thats right. i was really impressed with Sutil's performanace at Spa. there's rumours going around that he might be in Ralf's seat next year.

    Sometimes I wonder why I stick around.
    No passing, political BS, backstabbing.

    I like Pro Mazda. More racing, less Super Egos.

    I would love to see how Sutil could do in a good car. He showed great talent with what he did at Spa with the new B-spec Spyker.
