While I would never buy the Honda for fundamental RWD vs. FWD reasons, the comments like this are killing me.
You guys do realize a Honda engine is currently beating Ferrari in the Formula 1 championship and only behind a pair of Mercedes AMG powered cars, don't you? Let's save the trash talk for when BMW is not too afraid to compete at the highest level of Motorsport. Until then, STFU, please. |
you do realize that Ferrari has the strongest motors in F1 right now, and that their issue is with downforce not straight line speed?
also, since Honda has returned to F1, how many DNFs have they had?
Alonso had some pretty nice words to say about Honda powerplants over the years..
also your comment about BMW being too scared to compete is absurd. That decision is financially based, as it makes no sense for them to blow millions on F1 Dev when their operating budget is already tight.
check your facts |
Strongest motors that are still being beaten by a Honda. Didn't Leclerc's Ferrari power unit fail him and cost him a race victory this season? Engine strength is nothing if they don't have reliability to match at the highest output setting.
Alonso and McLaren were butthurt that they couldn't win and needed someone to blame. How are their results this season with the new Renault power units? Seems Honda has stepped up to the challenge this year while McLaren is still enjoying the taste of shit in their mouth.
Cost is no excuse for not wanting to play with the big boys. Gotta pay to play.
Sorry you are butthurt as well, Ferrari fanboy! Quit living in the past. |
Honda is not beating anybody, they make one component of the car, albeit an important one, but there are many other aspects that go into an F1 car. They are an engine supplier, not a team. Red bull is competitive despite the Honda powerplant not because of it, and the only reason they considered using Honda engines was because Merc and Ferrari refused to supply them with motors for fear of their stiff competition. The Honda move may prove to be a disaster yet as it did with McLaren
Until Honda enters their own factory team and wins anything your argument is silly.
The only thing Honda might be able to do well is create an F1 car as ugly as the CTR.
