Mr Boullier's take on a key Honda issue: Deadlines? We don't got no stinking deadlines

I'm assuming that he is being diplomatic with his media utterings but sounds to me like there are really serious problems in the background.

It is definitely the thing that outsiders find hardest to deal with in racing teams - the fact that deadlines are absolute (the race starts when it starts, if you're not white ready, bad luck). As a result, teams tend to get things done fast - go hard at it and put in long hours which means suppliers or in this case engine partners need to have the same approach for the whole thing to work.
