Here's the report: http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpa...s_art_id=31485
What they don't mention is, of course, that Super Aguri cars are being driven by two Honda rejects. And these rejects are doing better than their own drivers. Wouldn't it be even funnier if both Honda rejects finish ahead of the Team Honda drivers at Monaco. :p :
OK, lets cut the crap and throw oodles of cash at R&D to make the Team Honda cars faster. Start by getting rid of that colour of vomit paint job, Fry. :D
Or start by sacking Fry.
Honestly, I would much rather see the little guy keep on winning (relatively speaking).
Underdogs are great.It teaches Honda a lesson and makes the other team feel great.
Hopefully there will be no payoffs in the next race.
well fry is a piece of sh!t so what is the problem - he was prix richards "Do Boy" so what can you expect from this idoit - please tell me his credentials and why in the **** would Honda invest in him -- come on
In a nutshell...one Honda team is running a Willis car and one isn't.
I wonder if Honda seriously considered going back to the '06 car and developing it rather than trying to fix the '07 car which obviously has some serious design flaws.Quote:

Willis probably has a smug look on his face these days.
they cant go back to the 06 car because its not certified as theirs. they would have to resubmit a design and register it.Quote:

in fairness to Nick, he has his hands tied.
Good point :up:Quote:

honda let all the human resources and brought in dicks instead. wonder how they would be doing with villeneuve and davidson as drivers and willis designing.
Nick Fry :D .... what a cock.
Quit moaning and make your team better
Fry is just mad because the angry planet car is crap and is team is now the Honda B team.
Oh dear - the source - pitpass - that says it all.
The first article would be good for a laugh, but sadly people seem to take it as 'fact'.
Naturally Honda aren't going to be jumping with joy that the supposedly B team is beating them - but pitpass state Nick Fry has mixed feelings, and what do they back that up with? The only quote they've got from him is 'I am happy for them'. The fact he has said it'll be hard for the Super's to match Honda's development pace is a completely different topic.
Pitpass seem to be a website who make a story, and then find quotes to try back it up, rather than just being honest.
On another note, Fry does need replacing. The downfall in Honda's fortune since his promotion, and the leaving of Richards is quite alarming!
Besides Fry I'm still wondering, who is that head designer Nakamura. What are his skills and qualification? Is it needed to replace him too?
Definately it would seem. I think getting rid of Willis wasn't such a bad idea if they wanted to challenge for the title - it was sacking him - without a decent replacement lined up that hurt them. Maybe they should have tried to lure Adrian Newey when he signed for RBR.Quote:

I don't think that it's the progress of Super Aguri that he's miffed about, more the severe lack of progress that the works Honda team have made, if anything they have taken a huge step backwards. They only have themselves to blame, sacking Willis without a decent replacement in place was dumb.
I just hope they don't now go down the road of Toyota and chuck millions of pounds trying to improve a donkey without first changing the idiot responsible for it's design.
I'll try that. :DQuote:

Nothing new here, next!
actually, there are some gems of truth in it I think. there is confusion over direction in the team and a confused decision process. I firmly believe that they need a strong figurehead with a proven trackrecord to take the team by the scruff of the neck and pull them together.Quote:

all this talk about ant beating jenson is quite silly really. you have two different cars and anyone that believes sato is better than jenson because he beat him in a different car is plainly talking out of their arse.
I don't care if it's some spotty teenager fabricating stories in his bedroom (not much difference) The undeniable facts are that the works Honda team are getting thoroughly whipped by their own B team, using last years car. I don't care how dumb people think Nick Fry is, he certainly can't be happy with the current situation.Quote:

pitpass are, in my opinion, the worst f1 site around. good for some gossip and made up stories, but I prefer something a bit more reliable - itv-f1 is where i get most of my news from - at least i know its true, and if its just a rumour, it will say its a rumour.
