How much longer can Honda, with all their money and all their pedigree, stay so far off the pace?

It's a criminal waste of two talented drivers. Argue all you like about whether Barrichello or Button has been the faster driver this year, but it's like two bald men fighting over a comb. There can't be much satisfaction in beating your team mate when the net result is you're 17th on the grid

Honda are getting their asses kicked by almost everybody, including their bitter rivals Toyota, and more embarrassingly by their old car in the hands of Super Aguri.

What needs to happen next? More money? Well they've got a tidy budget. More engineering talent? I simply do not know.
Pretty much a season to forget, same with McLaren last year.

There's team's out there who can't seem to build good cars consistently over a number of years, whether it be Honda or McLaren, to name but few.

These things happen. You take a gamble on a car design and hope its pays off. Again, McLaren being a good example. Year by year you're wondering whether they have the car to fight for titles or (by their standards) utter numpties by mixing it in the midfield.
