I think I might still have had faith in Honda to come good in the end, but two things this weekend have told me that it probably won't happen:
1. Arai making whacky claims for the upgrades and implying that the McLaren is a big part of the problem.
2. Honda dismissing the idea of poaching some people who might know about hybrid F1 engines because "that's not the Honda culture".
One shows desperation and the other shows that they're not prepared to learn.
Its interesting about this Honda ''culture''. Towards the end of yesterday's BBC broadcast, 03:08:16 BBC iPlayer, the discussion turned to McLaren and Honda. Eddie Jordan mentioned Kamamoto and what a genius he was and what he did for Honda 30 years ago. With regards to Honda's culture he said Honda talk about culture but they don't even have the same culture they had 30 years ago.
