Extreme Makeover: Honda Edition
Saturday afternoon at Silverstone marked an all-time low in Honda Racing's disastrous 2006 season. At his home Grand Prix, Jenson Button failed to make it through the first stage of qualifying, starting the race from 19th on the grid. And it didn't get any better the following day, either. Jonathan Noble talked to the principal players at the team and reveals how they plan to bounce back
When former BAR boss David Richards famously recounted Benjamin Franklin's quote that 'the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results' while talking on why he felt it necessary to drop Jacques Villeneuve, he had no idea the phrase would become something of a thorn in Honda Racing's side ever since.
Time and again, especially this season, as each passing race brings further disappointment, the team management have been pushed about just what they need to do differently to turn things around.
