I hope Honda just becomes a supplier for Sauber or something. Maybe they can come up with fancy new tech that another team can use when they leave the sport without a single loving win?

Its too bad they can't get a midfield team. The lion's share of blame is with Honda but I don't think McLaren's recent cars have been particularly special apart from maybe last year's, it would do them good to have somebody chasing after them with the same engine.

They probably assumed they were teething issues that could be easily figured out. It's like that moment when you're into physics problem that is iterative from the top; every part of the answer is wrong and it's driving you insane and then you realise you're missing a bracket in the first equation and it all falls into line. The reality appears to be more of a "every single part is wrong" thing.

I think like every month this year there's been an article or news about the Honda engine that has just made me go "what the gently caress." I want to believe this is rock bottom but I wouldn't bet on it.

I could understand Honda being useless fuckups if they were just taking money from MCLRN and blowing it all on hookers and coke. But it's the other way around, Honda is paying most of the budget of an entire F1 team just so they can watch their own engines fall apart. Why do this?

Re: Honda - I could maybe understand being that complacent about testing a single cylinder and bolting 5 more on if you didn't have a track record of being a punchline to a joke for two seasons. But they don't seem to be taking this seriously at all.

Honda at the idea of getting back into F1 a couple years ago:  Honda right now:  Seriously, if you watch their US ads, they make no mention of F1 but instead have an indy car on them as their "THE TECH IN YOUR CAR COMES FROM HERE!" sort of thing.

djssniper posted:Are there any F1 related ads in the US? I'd have thought indy car would be more relevant to that market Honestly, not that I'm aware of. I wouldn't put it past Mercedes to at least do it because of their tagline "The Best or Nothing", but I don't think they have. The closest they got was mentioning a historic race car going in an auction for X amount, BUT YOU CAN BUY THIS C CLASS FOR Y DOLLARS! Then again, technically Merc is racing under its AMG brand, which it doesn't promote that much at all.

Hello dreadfuls. What should I burn my next Audible credit on? I'm torn between Damon Hill's, Ross Brawn's and SIR JOHN YOUNG STEWART'S books.

I'm going to poo poo my pants and take a picture and post it here I bought Damon's book because it was highly recommended and so far it's boring as poo poo. He's just going on about being the son of a legend and I don't really give a gently caress about that, I want war stories and cool things that happened during his career. But I guess it's Damon Hill so I got what I deserved. The Brawn book is apparently just a long interview with Brawn, some people like it and some don't.
