More 5 pence than 50 Cent to be quite honest.
Honda's Yamamoto:
- Toro Rosso are easy to work with.
- They listen to suggestions and are interested in what we have to say about the PU and how it can be integrated into the chassis, they are respectful.
- James Key asked us to point out anything that could be improved on the chassis side and the relationship makes us want to contribute in this way, although at the moment its limited to discussions on radiator design.
- Would be willing to help on the chassis side in the future.
- One difficulty in the switch to Toro Rosso is that McLaren designed and supplied several components, including battery pack, wiring harness, MGU-H, bringing these in-house is a priority. McLaren sourced its batteries from European suppliers, these would have to be designed and built in Japan, this brings logistical problems as transporting large batteries is an issue.
- McLaren wanted us to work the way they do, would often ignore our opinions.
- Honda's operation is far smaller than Ferrari and Mercedes in terms of staff and budget.
- Brought in component design and production from suppliers to reduce development time, though we wouldn't turn down suppliers if they are quicker and better than doing it in-house.
- Toro Rosso is a little like Spirit F1, a team to develop the PU with and to showcase Honda with a view to moving on to a stronger partner in the future.
Marko:
- Honda is very active and has already found something.
- Had to compromise on the McLaren chassis specification. They could not develop freely and were pretty limited.
- Alonso has done everything to make the engine look bad

It would be hilarious if Honda turned up with a good engine, Alonso would probably self combust
In reality though, the sport needs Renault and Honda to be on the ball from day one because catching up on engine performance during the season is so difficult these days and it's only going to be worse with the 3 engine rule
I think Lewis is great, but man, what is going on with his fashion choices?
The hair is cool, though.
I don't know much about such things, but I assumed he was dressed up as a character from a cartoon or somesuch.

Fuck Sky Sports.
I used to love watching nearly every single race Formula 1 on ITV when I was younger...

ITV used to have F1 and mid-week Champions League football. Crazy days.
Aye, fair play, he spent a shitload of money to get his hair back so he's welcome to do whatever he wants with it.
You can get your hair back in Turkey(they are the best in this apparently) for 3k €. ain't that expensive.
I'm not sure if someone with lifetime earnings in the hundreds of millions would really go for the cheapest option when it comes to hair transplants.
You should be blaming ITV and BBC for not being able to watching F1 on free TV. Not Sky.
Or you could blame the UK government for not legislating to ensure more sporting events are available on on Free to Air TV.
Or you could blame the F1 rights holders for putting short term monetary gain above long term audience stability when negotiating TV rights.
Or more generally, you could blame our capitalist society, which holds up deregulation and privatisation as virtues and values profit maximisation over sustainability.
I think your points there might be stronger if 1) BBC (state controlled) hadn't thrown F1 rights away to cover sports "of their own demographic" and 2) if Sky hadn't held the rights for only the last 5 years.
Honda being great would be great. F1 looks bleak until the 2021 engine rules change with Merc winning every title from 2014-2020. We need a hero.
This is rather off-topic, but the BBC is in no way "state controlled".
It would have been frankly criminal of the BBC to continue paying £40m a year for F1 coverage after the government had crippled their funding and they were having to lay off thousands of people and close entire departments and services. To lay blame on them for not being able to watch F1 for free is laughable.
And yet they're still to this day paying the likes of Nicky Campbell £500k per year.
Indeed.
Though wish there had been a way to let them keep it even if viewership needed to be paid for as an additional service. Not how the beeb works though.
Well McLaren will agree to everything only so that they can have him for another year. The news is awesome, I'll be following WEC more closely. :)
