"Besides, when we bring the actual thing to circuit to run it on real environment, whole set of new facts that cannot be known by simulation only arise, then we clear these one by one to raise the level of ourselves by one stage, it's a repeat of this process."
Amen brotha'
"The best strength is that Honda's mechanics possess element of engineer. For example when we go back to factory, we are build engineers who conduct assembly as well. That we are able to be involved with development of productivity directly is our strength, so Honda's mechanics can do more than what a mere mechanics are supposed to do. To go even further, we'd like to make "Honda's mechanics are group of such kind" the norm. We are able to not only work on task as mechanic but also to demand "this components should be this way", I think that's what's different from others mechanics, so I consider we should strengthen and train that aspect furthermore. That might be bit too wide as a range for mechanics, but when Soichiro Honda was active there was no particular difference/boundary b/w mechanic and engineer, so that's where Honda's racing philosophy is coming from. You catch all the balls that are within your reach instead of just staying within your role. All the staff are thinking "I'll do it" is what the group called Honda is about, I think, so we'd like to value that aspect in particular."
This part really got to me because I approach things the same way.
