    Fantastic! I have always been critical of the Japanese team. Now they're making the right moves and acquiring the personnel to persevere. I can't wait to see what's in store for Honda next year, that is, if FA tags along.

    I think it would be an unbelievable line up if they had Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso on the team. You dont have seat fittings for nothing do they?

    If it were to happen though the whole team/factory would have to pull off an awesome car to live up to the driver standards.

    "Reacting to the Bild story, a Honda spokeswoman said: 'Fernando has not visited our factory, and Honda Racing confirmed their drivers for the 2008 season back in July.'"

    Why would they need seat fittings at this point?

    The real story is probably closer to:
    Alonso had to give back his Mercedes company car , he bought a second hand Honda Civic and was at a Honda dealeship trying to get them to fix the front seats that move forwards slightly when braking.

    Yeah, Honda have denied this. A shame in a way, it would really have thrown silly season wide open. Looks like it's Renault or nowhere.
    Then again, Red Bull keep releasing conflicting press statements about Alonso...

    I thought the Renault deal was pretty much signed before the season finished. I'd be surprised if he goes anywhere else, but F1 is all for surprises I suppose. If traction control is on the way out (I don't pay attention but someone mentioned it) Honda would be wise to keep hold of Jenson. His style is very smooth and should suit it.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    But he could have just turned up at Brackley and said "Hey Ross, I wonder if one of the guys could take a look at this seat for me..."

    Seriously though, half the teams have been issuing statements that leave the door not quite shut, including Honda. It could still happen.
    To a guy with a new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    Can this possibly be?


    does this mean that Davidson might be set for McClaren?

    I know that Ron Dennis still ows ant a test drive in a McLaren for winning one of the junior formulae, but this is wishing for the star isn't it?
