Wow, that's a shock.

Honda consolidating all resources for production vehicles. Interesting times we live in, one can only wonder the immediacy and direction of investment for their new production vehicles. What ever it is - it is costly and likely going to be quick-to-market.

Be (very) glad Ford built the GT when it did!

Williams were still faster than Toyota for a fair part of the year... and faster than Honda. Torro Rosso were plenty quick this year... top tier competitive? No... but given the merits of our times, I can see a lot happening in the next year or two. I don't see racing going by the wayside; just direct manufacturer support, and development being reduced.

They will not win Championships in the future either. Ferrari & McLaren spend way way more money and have such vast resources, they have no chance to win a title. They might win a small battle here and there on the off day, but they will always lose the war.
