mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 So Honda's new F1 plans are gonna be based on an NSX, an Acura 1! Can't get cheaper than that or Nick Fry spent it all on drugs & all he had was an NSX with a spoiler & not 1 bit of half a ton worth of carbon fibre, but nearly 2 tonnes worth of rusty metal!

aussief1 4 Report post Posted September 3, 2007 That's both pretty cool and pretty sad at the same time True And the sad part of it is, what can only be described as a "thing" would create more downforce and less drag than the RA107 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2//horns 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/62046 Button predicts stronger weekend at MonzaBy Pablo Elizalde Tuesday, September 4th 2007, 11:25 GMT Jenson Button is expecting his Honda Racing team to be more competitive than in previous races at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix. The Japanese squad, who have scored just one point in a dismal season so far, enjoyed a productive test at Monza last week, leaving Button encouraged about his prospects for the weekend. "We tested here last week for four days which went well despite the unusually poor weather. We ran the car in the unique set-up required for Monza with a lower downforce setting than usual and it performed well," the British driver said in a team preview. "The race will be tough however I expect our performance to be more competitive than some of the recent races which gives cause for optimism." The team's senior technical director Shuhei Nakamoto echoed Button's comments, saying he expects the team to have a stronger race pace. "Testing at Monza last week in preparation for the Italian Grand Prix has enabled us to find a good balance for the car around this high-speed circuit after running through different wing, tyre and chassis set-up options," said Nakamoto. "Monza's many straights will be a challenge for us, however as in Turkey, we expect to be stronger in the race than in qualifying, enabling us to battle strongly with our mid-grid rivals." I like Button and the Honda brand but this is just getting old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 I hope they can have a good Monza weekend. A top 10 finish would be fantastic, whether they will or not is another thing. It seems odd how they were fairly competative in France and have gone backwards again since then. Strange. I really hope for both their's and Button's sake 2008 will bring more glory as TBH they arn't a bad team, fairly likeable with a good technical team, just they lack in direction which is down to the Honda management. Bring in Ross Brawn and a few more technical staff with a background in winning (i.e Ferrari, Mclaren, Renault) and I think they could do very well indeed. Button is certainly a great driver given the correct machinery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
