Re: Honda open to future Formula 1 return

Honda won't support Koba, he's a Toyota protege... Like how McLaren would never sign Perez, because he was a Ferrari protege? Anyway, Kobayashi isn't backed by Toyota anymore. He's the only Japanese F1 driver. And he just got Japan's 3rd podium ever in the sport. If Honda want to start promoting th...

Well if you noticed most tracks lap records are held mostly by Kimi, Schumi, Montoya, and Barrichello around 2004. It peaked around then so I would say they are DEFINITELY slower now, but not by much I don't think.
