Bouncey hinted at the real reason why Honda will take over one of the two teams; TOYOTA.
Toyota is their primary competitor and if Toyota's team garners lots of positive Press, Honda won't want to be left behind. There is also the issue of unfinished business that Bouncey described as well. Honda have already propelled both Williams and McLaren Chassis to titles. The only new challenge is to do it themselves. They are already helping BAR with their chassis and with the very probable desire on the part of BAT to divest themselves of the losing proposition that is BAR, Honda will get a bargain basement deal. EJ is not ready relinquish control of the team0this was the reason given for Honda's aliance with BAR last season. I suspect that Eddie would rather the team faded down the grid as his team than to become something else. Let us not forget that cars are redesigned annually and subject to enormous amounts of testing, just because the Jordan ids pretty handy this year is no guaranty that it will be next year. ON the subject of BAT's ownership, it was my understanding that once the Tobacco ban is in place, they could continue to call the Team British American Racing, alluding to their corporate affiliation without violating the letter of the law. However, their enthusiasm for Pollack and Co seems to be cooling and I suspect Honda will will relieve them of their corporate embassment. |
