Thanks Taka!

Well I honoured BMW's business decision. Guess what the Honda range was very good in the 90s after they pull out of F1, with VTEC, DC2, DC5 and S2000. Now still going strong with the FD2 Civic Type R. You will never know.

I think Honda just pulled out again. Maybe Toyota next

after all they posted a loss for the first time in a long long time recently.

Who cares, does anyone actually follow BMW in the F1 anyway?

I've been a Ferrari and Webber supporter for ages and won't change for whatever brand of car I'm driving at the time.

Anyway, the big news in F1 right now is this:

THE MAN is back!
