I find it rather odd. I mean, didn't Honda wave big money in front of Hass before? Why change now? Why be so convinced that Hass would break with Newman?
I also wonder about the driver lineup. After 2002 Junky decided to go with NH and CART rather than Ganassi, the IRL and probably a larger pay cheque.
I have a hard time picturing Bourdais in the IRL. While he did well at Germany, he's generally struggled on ovals.
The other factor is setups. NH has the BEST inventory of CART setups. To throw away being the best team to be a rookie team in the IRL with NO setups is odd. NH has also struggled with their oval setups in CART. Does anyone picture them beating Andretti, Rahal or even Fernandez?
