Wonder what? I can't see them reversing their decision unless there's a coup at boardroom level by the pro F1 members
Even if they do it - unlikely - how many engineers are already looking for new opportunities? It might be too late to even reverse the decision.
Engineers from where? I don't think anyone from Sakura has left.

I assume they have engineers @ Milton Keynes that are looking for new jobs.

Anyone else noticed how Horner mentioned Honda like 3 or 4 times after Max took pole? Just makes you wonder :lol:
You know, I actually had this thought for few weeks now ..
Based on absolutely nothing, but what if the 'Honda leaving' is just being used to gain some more weight in the game of coverging PU's, whilst turning in some way the decision around when this actually happens (in the years after 2021) ?
Would be a cheeky move ..

Yeah, but since Honda is leaving there is no moving to be done. It’s real. Daimler is also not doing fantastic.

If I didn't heard wrong Ham I told he lost on straights to Redbull. It looks like Honda also released some horses for last race.
Mercedes always run detuned on FP3. I won't take that too seriously
Albon's engineer told him "we can run a little harder this race so let's take it to em"

So it's possible Honda maybe turning it up for a final test? Not sure. We know a few Merc PU's have started to let go so they are also probably turning it down in tandem.

All bodes well for Hondas PU longevity. Its looking strong.

Max had 5 DNFs this season. No wonder there were no reliability issues.

If I remember, both Kvyat and Gasly have had engine issues. I guess they have been using the AT as a test bed to ensure the RB16 runs smoothly.
