Honda has major problems with auto sales, especially in NA. They also have a growing rival in Hyundai, especially in NA. They are a bit of a late starter in China as well, where GM and VW are the top foreign brands. With the new emphasis on green, they saw the writing on the wall and put many of their racing engineers to work on zero carbon stuff. leave it to Honda to come up with something good, but in the meantime, no racing teams. Excellent engine though! Nice to see a bike manufacturer build the winning engine as well...

Honda have powered F1 cars to 6 constructors world championships and 5 drivers championships.

Based On that I wouldn't say the engine is the problem for Honda in F1, the problem is the chassis.

Much like motoGP?

I don't think the Honda engines are/were as good as the Mercedes ones that powered the Brawn cars this year. Rumour has it the whole undertray was a botch job this year in order to fit the Mercedes engine, at the last minute, and they're looking to regain their technical advantage for 2010 with a new one and chassis to match the powerplant they know they'll have for 2010 ...

He's an arrogant tw@t, with no real ability to present or carry himself effectively.

But he is world champion, and I'd rather have an arrogant world champion that a nice also ran.

Jenson is World Champion, he is a brit in a british car, albeit with a Mercedes engine. After the rubbish F1 cars he has driven in the past it was about time his luck changed. Dont forget he beat Raikkonen, Alonso & Hamilton all former world F1 champions, I bet even smugmacher didnt beat three past champions to win a title.

Lets celebrate as Jenson is our motorsport world champion this year.

And my Jenson fact is he used to live in my mums best friends house in Frome.
