I wonder what Christian H and co think

a few years ago RBR were having all sorts of engine troubles with honda, and were very vocal criticising them and saying they just werent good enough
In the end honda had enough and said that they would pull out at the end of the following year and RBR can look elsewhere.

So RBPT was created to develop an engine for when Honda pulled the pin. IN the short term they could use the honda until the contract expired.

The following year the engine problems with the honda engine (under rbpt) seemed to be resolved, rbr was winning and all the love was coming back.

Honda reverses their decision and decides to stay. the Honda logo is huge on the RBR car. But RBPT now have a non honda future mapped out. (probably with ford)

So honda now go to AM

Its like RBR let honda get away on them
