Honda have had several stabs at the F1 apple,
First in the 60s with their own car and engine.......not too shabby, but not he experience they wanted to have.....
They then returned as an engine supplier with Williams
Then they moved over to McLaren again dominating the landscape.
At the time the reference was.......the TAG engine...
desgined and made by
Porsche.
Currently Honda are struggling (for them) in F1 as the engine supplier for BAR.
Toyota on the other hand are really struggling towars the back of the grid.
It will take them longer than they thought to make a go of it.
Remember it took Ferrari 20 years to regain the Drivers Title after Scheckter.........and only then because they had an immensely strong team, in mamagement, design, racing and driving terms which is unmatch anywhere along the pit wall to this day.
I would not underestimate eithe Honda or Toyota or Nissan. If they really want to go racing there is precious little that they cannot achieve. What about history...well they would be making it as we speak, like Ferrari were in the 50s and Porsche in the 70s, nothnig wrong with that.
