What they should of done is to buy (with McLaren) Manor GP and used this as basically an ongoing test and development programme, this would have given them more than twice the data and experience, as they could sacrifice results and as along as the cars were relatively competitive, used them as test mules.
That gives me an interesting thought. Although Honda don't have a whole team to dispose of for 100 quid or whatever it was Brawn robbed them of it for, could Honda get out this time by handing the development of their PU over lock stock to an outside business bit like they had with Mugen in the past?
