The Demise of Honda (and F1?)

As I am sure many of you will already have seen Honda Racing F1 is effectively no more...

"Global crisis ends Honda F1 dream" says BBC News.

Nick Fry and Ross Brawn have (depending upon who you believe) been set a deadline of January or March to find a buyer - and rumours abound that a Ferrari customer engine deal is on the verge of being signed (they do have a spare deal going following the departure of Force India to Mercedes engines) but one wonders who in their right mind would be interested in taking on 800 staff and significant factory space at this time - even for the (again rumoured) £1.

We shall wait and see but could this be the thin edge of the manufacturer wedge in F1?
