Saw this on the gossip column on the BBC website:
"Honda could return to Formula 1 in 2014 as McLaren's new engine partner when a new formula for more efficient 1.6-litre, turbo-charged V6s is introduced. The Japanese company previously partnered McLaren to success in the 1980s and 1990s but the Honda board still need to give the green light to the plan to return to the sport.
Full story: Auto Motor und Sport (in German)"
If this goes through, and with Renault supplying engines to Williams from next year, it kind of feels like F1 is going back in time. :P
I just thought this was interesting.
(Also a little worried by how quiet it is on here.)

Honda to Supply Engines to McLaren

Seen this as well, interesting development.
This place is quiet because Hamilton won the last race. If he had been involved in an incident, there would be 50 articles criticising him even though other drivers do similar or worse things on track.
It's sad that we can't have proper debate though

"It's sad that we can't have proper debate though"
And yet when someone tries to start a proper debate, you immediately turn it back to Hamilton. I'm not casting aspersions, but maybe you are part of the problem.

I was explaining why it was quiet. I'm ready to debate with anyone about any topic and I do not indulge in the hammy love fest or hate fest. The people that do, are the problem.

Don, daredevil (sorry I can't bring myself to use your full name ) was only explaining the lack of comments on here. thesphoram is probably the biggest hamilton luvr or Whitmarsh hater on the board.
Back on topic, the Honda rumour is JUST that and has been dispelled by Mclaren. They will continue to use Mercedes engines for the foreseeable future. Until they develop their own F1 engine of course, but we will see that in other formats of motor racing before they commit it to F1.

And the other reason it is quiet here is that most of the old 606ers seem to use NOT606.
