wonder if Honda is kicking themselves? I mean, it was a Mercedes engine and all but still how do you sell a team for 1 pound sterling and that team goes on to win WDC and the constructor's championship their first year and make 98.5 million pounds and not feel like you screwed up?
Big balls from Brawn and Fry and co putting up their own money to keep the thing afloat. "The directors were paid 8.4 million in salaries over the course of the year and were paid back the 3.5 million they loaned the company to stay afloat in the build up to the season. "
What Made it Happen was weak knee's of Honda the spent untold amounts in developing the 2009 car then gave it all away.Only the insiders knew what they had
We know better than to take financial figures in F1 at face value but it couldn't happen to a more deserving crew. The guys who staked their own money had their faith repaid.
