In this uk campaign we’ll see the 7 times Formula One champion Michael Schumacher bringing a powerful message:
Drinking and driving don’t mix, if I don’t do it, why would you!
Not really, “If I don’t do it, why would you” is not a strong argument, yet I don’t ever do it, so… If I don’t do it, why whould you? ;)
Last night Takeo Fukui, president of Honda Motor Co. announced that Honda won’t continue to support the F1 racing sub-division Honda Racing F1 with immediate effect, meaning their retirement from the F1 racing for the 2009 season, the news has been shocking for the racing sub-division itself, the engineers, the crew, the drivers and all of us followers to one of the greatest racing companies, earlier this year Honda had been predicted to be one of the top 4 for the 2009 season.
Starting in 1964 with the passion of its fonder, Honda has always been close to the Formula One, from John Surtees who won the first Grand Prix (1967 in Italy), the amazing Ayrton Senna, and recently Jenson Button. This announcement closes a long relationship between the manufacturer and one of the ultimate racing events.
At the moment there are several serious buyers for the sub-division, we hope Honda Racing F1 to continue the next year’s season although it may be under another name.
Long life to the champions.
