I"m willing to view this year as the trial period. I'm not surprised at all that one team figured out things 10 times better than the others. There's no shame in that for either side. The shame in my opinion will come if 6 or 7 years from now... if one team is dominant after years of time for everyone to catch up and innovate. Say what you want about Red Bull's 4 championships... there's no reason none of the other teams couldn't match them. They all knew what they were dealing with at that point and had their chance to innovate and succeed.

This first year with the new power units is different. Next year will be the year watch... I think... hopefully. The sound going away is a sad thing and I hope it comes back. Seeing the uber rich talking and giggling with their champagne on the balconies at Monaco seemingly unaware and undisturbed by a field of F1 cars racing by lets even the casual observer know that's something is wrong.

I view Honda's return as a very good thing, because Japanese philosophy - I lived in Japan - can be coldly dispassionate: "This is the formula we have, so we will analyze it until we find something to exploit." You think the Germans are good at that, well ha ha.

Cheers,

George

They'll build a good engine, but their last F1 team wasn't all that great, pretty terrible actually. BGP001 was great, but I believe BGP001 was as good as it was in part because it had an MB engine which was a bit more powerful than the Honda unit. I have to wonder how that car would have done had it been powered by that difficult to drive Honda engine, I'm sure it would have been good, but WCC good? Who knows.
