Honda will pull out of Formula One unless a new buyer can be found within three months, The Associated Press has learned.
The Japanese car manufacturer has the operating budget to keep the team running into early 2009, but escalating operational costs amid the worldwide financial crisis have the Brackley-based outfit in danger of shutting down if a new sponsor is not found quickly.

For what it costs to sponsor F1, Honda could just hire beautiful prostitutes to give every test driver of one of their cars a fulfilling blow job.

Will anyone notice if Honda pull out? My understanding from watching F1 is that McClaren and Ferrari compete for the title, everyone else is there to make up the numbers.

I am very surprised about this, I cannot remember the last Big F1 team to pull out because of financial difficulties. But with the down turn of car production world wide at over 30%. If a team like Honda can pull out, you have to ask where does this leave F1. Scary.

So it wasn't Jenson's silly sunglasses fund sucking them dry..
it was that $217million dollars of development they spent without any sponsors.
Hope David Richards buys in, then we'll have Prodrive!

I'm pretty sure they'll get bought, even in this climate.
