If one thing can be learned from the Jaguar Racing mess it has to be that stability in your technical and leadership teams is essential to success in F1. Stability doesn't automatically mean success but instabilty will invariably lead to failure.
I guess Honda haven't taken any lessons from what made Ferrari so strong and Jaguar so weak.
well put!
championships are based around continuality and evolution
Richards and Willis helped Honda, but BAR didn't see it that way.....
I drive Honda's personally, but the F1 team is sinking....fast....
It's getting better than it was at the start of this season, possibly. But that's a huge step backwards from where they were even last year, let alone the 11 podiums (as BAR) of 2004.Quote:

Indeed, it takes about 3 years to design and build a winning Formula 1 car. You can't keep chopping and changing.
I think Honda will be glad when this season ends - they will unveil a totally new car for next year. I just hope Aguri won't be landed with this years duds. :(Quote:

I'm guessing De Ferran wants to progress into a more hands on approach/management role instead of doing PR all the time.
So the samurai sword has finally fallen on Gil de Ferran.
I see that as a positive step, I argued from the day of his appointment he would be a disaster for Honda, and it proved to be the case, it was he who employed Barrichello his close friend, a driver who had previously sold his WC ambition for a bank full of money when he signed up to be MS;s rear gunner.
A driver who after winter testing plus several races announced he couldn't drive the car!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a capture from Ferrai that was.
I believe it was de Ferran that undermined Willis,(I have no concrete evidence, just paddock rumour) if team Honda are to improve, perhaps de Ferran's dismissal will prove to be the catalyst.
