Honda announced in December that it would withdraw from Formula 1. However, they have yet to find a serious buyer for the team. There has been various rumours about different buyers, but Honda CEO Takeo Fukui said today that Honda has yet to see a serious offer. Honda withdraws due to economic reasons in connection to the generally bad condition of the global car market. It honours Honda that they still have the aim to sell the team to a serious buyer. It takes a lot of money to back a Formula 1 team, this is not easily done.
For my part, I find it a bit sad that we lose one of the Japanese teams in Formula 1, and a car manufacturer as well. As a Shiba Inu, I always have hopes for the teams and drivers from the home country of my breed. It is also nice to see that companies that make cars for the ordinary driver also compete in the most advanced motor sport there is. One of these things, and probably both, may be lost for the team when Honda leaves Formula 1.
I wonder what will happen, if Honda does not find any buyer. Will they compete this year, nevertheless?
