    correct, but how long it took them to actually succeed? At the end of the day, it's better for them to come back step by step, rather than jumping headfirst and then regretting.

    I'd like to see Toyota come back too. They looked pretty impressive in those enduro races.

    Honda's issue was how the set the team up to begin with combined with who was doing the setting up. By the time Brawn got there it was far too late. Honda could get back in it and do well if they only had the right people running the show. He's they designed BGP001 but it was nothing without the DD really.

    Again, the double diffuser was not the only thing that made that car so dominating. We saw that thing get destroyed a couple/few times by other cars ramming into the back of the BGP001, and yet they still managed to sail off into the sunset.

    It was one of the key reasons though. I think Williams and Toyota also developed theirs, but didn't manage to use it as effectively as Brawn did.

    Also the fact that the double diffuser was a Super Aguri development and not a Honda one.

    The front wing end plates were it I believe. As for the ddd, I forget who the Japanese fellow was who came up with it but wasn't it Bigois who implemented it?
