The times also says they spent about $500m, and gave another $100m to Brawn for 2009.......

You have to wonder if someone at Honda has been shot for quitting just when they were about to win !

Interestingly NO british F1 world champion has retained the title, when told this Jensen seemed to be up for the challenge.....

Would the car have been a 'winner' with a Honda engine in the back though? No doubt the Mercedes has been the class of the field this year...
