No biggie. It's a twig on the bonfire of embarrassment that has roasted :redface: Honda, especially after being a Factory team this year.

They are always trying to push the envelope so stuff like this happens and back to the drawing board, no big deal. :smile:

it is a big deal for the 07 season since it looks like they have to use the same spec engine from this season...honda hoped the new engine will be able to catch ferrari, renault, mclaren in 07.

Not good. And how can he say this is an area of least set back. I guess he is watching different races than I am. Honda's engines this year have cost them how many finishes now??? Should I start shopping for a Renault now?

They still have a little time. The F1 engine rules state that engines will be stabilised from the 2006 Chinese GP and be the only engines allowed to be used during the 2007 season. However I agree, it doesn't look good.

Nakamoto said the aim was to break the 20,000rpm barrier by the end of the season.

"It will be difficult for us, but we are trying," he said.

20,000RPM? that's insane

No, that's progress.
