Honda is going to quit F1

BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Formula One | Honda poised to quit Formula One

What a sad day. Super Aguri aka Super Friends, the private team folded a couple years back. Now it seems that Honda's factory team is looking to sell or close down if they cannot find a buyer. With the cost of F1 and the downturn in profits, it is easy to see why.

Same info, nothing new. I just thought they should be linked.

Sad, but anyone that was into F1 knew it was going to happen. They've been out classed for awhile now. Wonder what will become of Ruben Barrichello? Hopefully they can come back in a few years when things rebound.
