Sudden and surprising. Wonder what gives."Unfortunately, the business types who now permeate the sport don't share this same gut centered devotion. I can only hope that the truly addicted will prevail, and that the original spirit of open wheel competition will somehow manage to survive and prosper into the future."

To a borrow an F1/footy term, he might take some "gardening leave" before he pops back up in the paddock elsewhere.Originally posted by Bullwinkle View Post
A blow to Honda for sure, but I'm more interested in his replacement at this point.From a couch in TexasComment
