Woulda, coulda, shoulda. At least he was competitive in the Indy Honda engine. To be last and unreliable must be very frustrating.
Ahhh so close, reminds me of a $ on a fishing line commercial. Perez should of moved over for his team, costed his team more points

i reckon they're done mate, there's no chance for Honda anymore...
Great racing, and I agree that Force India blew it, they could have been on the Third step.....Ocon was way faster than Perez, yet he did not want to move over.
It was amazing to see how Merc was able to dial in their car during the course of the 2 FP sessions on Friday...the F cars where fast and planted from the first session.
Lewis and Merc were unbeatable this weekend.

I have to wonder if they really want to do hybrid since Indy car isn't hybrid. Plus the industry ( right or wrong) seems headed to electric / self driving vehicles. Maybe F1 will go the way of indy car.
That was one of the best races I've seen in a while.
Stephen, you have to make it up to this race, it is an amazing weekend......an as you know Canadian Beer is always FREE!

Haha I like free beer!
One of my friends was there. I really do need to come to Canada again though.
Start planning for next year EST Fest....Always held during Memorial Day weekend and Beer is Always Free!
Haha I may actually. Now that I switched jobs and that its cooperate and I can take off whenever I want as long as I have the days it's much more flexible. That was a main reason for never coming to any events because my scheduling!
Cool...looking forward to it.

saw that one coming a while back. very disappointing, and completely expected... :frown:
The real question is does Honda really want to be in F!? Renault has stuck it out, and there is rumors of Toyota taking over efforts.

Leadership vacuum at Sauber...
http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12...aves-sauber-as-swiss-teams-struggles-continue
Monisha is no longer at Sauber, wonder how this is related to Honda's desire to remain on the grid for next year even if McLaren decides to part ways. Will Honda take a majority stake of Sauber if McLaren walks out?

Sure sounds like Honda is posed to take that Team over, as a full factory Team.
Pretty cheap too, as Sauber does not have any sponsors.

Personally I think Honda buying the Sauber team would be a huge mistake, unless they had Brawn to run it!
Kaltenborn's departure had nothing to do with a possible buy out, but rather a difference in opinion on how to run the team with the new owners. It doesn't argue well for Honda having a reasonable team to use their PU with, especially if McLaren dump them, and boy do they deserve to be dumped............

Alonso deserves a frontline drive. he has wasted three precious years of his life in that shitbox...
I think the problem with this is there is no other viable partner so I think they will stay as much as the last 3 years pisses me off

McLaren will probably turbocharge a Prius engine and do just as well! maybe better? :biggrin:
unfortunately you are correct, I still don't see a divorce happening I think they are too far in. On a positive note the test engine they ran today got up there in the speed trap still not enough but faster
