It has to be said Hondas approach to F1 has been shambolic......I personally know several ex Mercedes powertrain engineers that were poached by Ferrari and now work in Italy on the Ferrari F1 engine and hybrid system.......this is how you succeed in F1: poach your rivals key staff - simple.......this is Hondas down-fall, cultural differences, for the record, I have nothing against the Japanese, I find them lovely people to work with, but I do find they are incredibly regimented in their working principles.
it seems beneath Hondas cultural honour to do this......I'm sorry but Gilles Simon is nobody and knows nothing about hybrid systems or turbocharged engines, he is from a gone era of NA V8 and V10 engines, I believe he was the guy pushing the axial turbine, and look what that did.
