dunno about you, but I'm one very glad to see BAR's association finished with Honda.. A few people I spoke with over the weekend are elated as well.. Come Jan. 1st, 2006 Honda themselves appear anxious to make it official.

A Honda insider gave this view and spoke of what he thinks of BAR..

BAR - started by consortium headed by Craig Pollock who came into a new team in F1 way over confident, making stupid predictions completely out of his league
-English way of running things was too different from the Japanese
-the ruin of careers - Jacques, Zonta, Sato and Davidson
-partial ruin of Button's career
-David Richards era of scandal and deceit - caught cheating , huge embarassment for honda
-under BAR, they have not won a race yet
-Barrichello's experience from the former best is highly regarded and he comes to a what will be a completely diff team under Honda than with BAR
-Honda could never establish the relationship with BAR as did with Ron Dennis and McLaren

so for 2006.. honda, Honda, HONDA..

I can't wait till Australia 2006
