Give F1 a chance
I wonder what’s being said at Honda’s Tokyo HQ this weekend? After three – let’s face it – fairly mediocre seasons in F1 they run out of money (so the press release implies) and sell Honda F1 Racing Team to Ross Brawn, just as it approaches its finest hour. You can’t blame a manufacturer for wanting to protect its core business interests, but the timing couldn’t have been worse. Was that one-two finish all down to the Mercedes engines? I’m not convinced.
I’ve never been a particularly dedicated F1 follower, but I do think this season’s already got the makings of an epic battle. Will it keep me on the edge of my seat all summer? Probably not, but after today’s race it’s looking anything but dull.
