Is Honda going to save money by withdrawing from Formula One Racing

December 22, 2008

Honda quits F1 amid economic slowdown | nbcsports.msnbc.com

Honda is quitting!  This is important news to the people that follow Formula One Racing throughout the world.  Honda is giving up and taking their cars home to Japan.  In the economic climate of today’s auto business this is probably a smart move by Honda.  The reports say that they will save some six hundred million dollars by giving up the 2009 Formula One season.  But money may not be the only reason for this pull back.  Honda has not been winning.  Winning is why a car company enters F-1 in the first place.  Competitors such as Toyota have been finishing in the points and the Honda Teams were struggling.  Honda engineers and the Honda Company take great pride in their winning racing heritage and lately that pride has been absent from Formula One Racing and that is why Honda is gone.
