    Austria was RB territory also and turned out to be a great race for LEC. Let’s hope for a repeat here.

    Lots of low speed corners you'd actually say this is Ferrari territory, but looking how they messed up Hungary as well and with the new TD you may have a point.

    Max won outright indeed, it was very close though. Insane quali lap put him up front but lots of pressure from Mercedes all race. With the Ferrari and Red Bull characteristics, Zandvoort like Hungary is a track that favours Ferrari a lot more, but with the new TD, if Spa is an accurate measuring stick and not a one off, RBR could well snatch Pole and win....with Ferrari battling Merc.

    If Max is comfortably ahead in Zandvoort I think the only race any other team can win without anything crazy happen is Singapore.

    Japan if he wins 3 out of the next 4 with 1 second place, no fastest laps. Measured against Perez (nearest to Max now) who would win every race apart from the 3 max wins in this theory.

    Odds of Perez winning every race and fastest lap is small.

    If Max doesn't DNF in any of the next 4 races or has damage, I think Japan is a very realistic place to become world champion. Honda will be delighted and Max's first ever official F1 outing in 2014 there. Pretty cool.

    Someone at Honda must be commiting seppuku. They could have scored two championships at a reasonable cost, and after all they´re building the engines anyway.

    Again, wrong time to leave.

    They're not leaving......they will supply engines to Alpha Tauri.

    Back up plan for RedBull IF Porsche turns out to be a dud....which is unlikely IMO .

    From a marketing point of view, they´ve already left: no Honda lettering on those cars, no "Honda F1 champion" ads on TV, and you have to be an initiated to recognize the tiny HRC logo.

    True, but RBR still credits Honda with their efforts even this year. But you are right, no stickers on the car whatsoever.

    Latest word is that, after the collision at the BelgianGP, Lewis's engine, which was a brand new one, got damaged beyond repair. If true, Hamilton might take another new one this weekend, which would mean a grid penalty.
