Honda's Retirement From Formula One

Honda announced they're going to withdraw from Formula One. On my side of the fence, it was a shock. Was it a shock to you guys? Yeah, it certainly was. We knew we were in quite big trouble because before even the discussion about Honda leaving, there was a lot of discussion about testing being cancelled. And then when we started to see Honda having to commit to redundancies at Swindon and around Europe, it was pretty clear that they weren't going to put up with giving us money at the same time. They couldn't stomach the experience of paying for us at the sameTime as they were laying people offquite rightly.
