And then there were eight....

[Super Tourer]

Barely a week ago we were told that nine teams had agreed a set of proposals, leaving Ferrari as the sole dissenting voice.

As we know 'agreement' in F1 usually means someone agree's until they have thought about it and then changed their mind.

Honda have now reportedly rejected the teams proposal as well, thinking that the cut in testing to 24 days is "too drastic".

Hopes that a move by nine of the Formula 1 teams to limit testing to just 24 days during the season will be rubber-stamped early next year appear to have been dashed, with Japanese car manufacturer Honda now set to reject the proposal

Instead, Honda is believed to welcome a much less dramatic testing limit - with a figure nearer the 30-day mark being suggested as the way forward for next year. The company is particularly keen to conduct as much testing as its believes to be feasible because it is on the verge of a fight for the world championship.

One insider told autosport.com: “Honda clearly wants to reduce costs in Formula 1 but believes it would be more realistic to not cut back on testing as dramatically as is being suggested by the 24-day limit. I think a compromise may eventually be reached between what they want and what the other teams want.”
