Ross Brawn signed for Honda a year ago on Wednesday
And so we find ourselves at the tail end of the 2008 F1 season. It’s been a bumpy ride with little satisfaction for Honda fans, hoping that the tiresome waiting of the past two seasons will pay off from next year onwards. With Timo Glock now the most unpopular driver in Brazil, we can safely say the season is over and Honda can draw a line through the RA108. We can safely say that this is where it gets good.
As testing begins for the 2009 season, the mood at Brackley couldn’t be more optimistic. A season spent in preparation for 2009, means a return to the podium is by no means out of the question. So, with the bad times behind us, it seems an appropriate time to start up a blog on the team I’ve been following for the last 43 race weekends. Plus I’m getting totally bored of being so bloomin unbiased over at The F1 Files. As the resurgence begins, this blog will be here every step of the way.
One last thing – It was a year ago that Ross Brawn signed for Honda and he’s not a man known for making wild and inaccurate predictions, but in the midst of the Brazil aftermath he was caught saying “They have still to continue their climb but I think if we as a team achieve the competitiveness BMW manage to we will be quite pleased.” No doubt his influence on the team will become clear next season.
