Honda jatkaa sopimustaan BARin kanssa?
Honda to extend BAR deal
For a further five years [27/02/04 - 11:14]
Honda is not making plans to cancel its Formula One programme.
The Japanese engine manufacturer's contract with F1 team BAR ends later this season but work on the next (2005) grand prix powerplant has already begun.
Engineering director Shuhei Nakamoto told Autosport that BAR's technical director Geoff Willis will soon travel to Japan to discuss the new project.
FIVE-YEAR DEAL
Sources report that a new five-year deal with the Brackley-based team is likely.
'I was happy to join BAR and I want to win the championship with the team,' said Nakamoto. 'We've already started work on the [new] engine.'
Shuhei said ahead of next week's season-opening Australian Grand Prix that a 'huge amount' of effort has been put into the development of the 2004 Honda.
'Now we're looking forward to seeing exactly how we will perform against the other teams when it counts,' he added before setting-off for Melbourne.
* Ferrari aces Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello are to go 'head to head' in the disciplines of football, golf, basketball and racing next Thursday.
The novel sponsor-event takes place at the 'Vodafone Arena' in Melbourne.

Hittolainen. Olen tässä viimeaikoina ollut Mersun kyvyttömyyteen tehdä kunnon moottoreita jo sen verran kypsynyt, että olen miettinyt kannattaisiko McLarenin vaihtaa moottoritoimittajaansa.
Kaikkien aikojen pelottavimman yhdistelmän, eli McLaren-Hondan paluu olisi ollut minusta varteenotettava vaihtoehto, varsinkin tuo BAR tuntuu nyt kulkevan Hondan vauhdittamana varsin iloisesti testeissä.
