Amount of coverage Vodaphone have got this year is immense. Would have to spend far more to get that many adverts.
Vodaphone have been milking it as much as they can get.
(PS Woolworths was bought for £1 too, just with £89 million in debts  )

Brawn you mean.
He's right, if you read the post, Honda started building their 09 car back at the start of the 08 season. They never bothered at all with the 08 car as it was a bad base to start with.
Their 09 car has been in development the longest out of the grid as theres so many changes.
Honda will get bought, it'll be some rich Arab who will plough loads of cash in. Whether they use a Honda engine is a different storey, so it won't be Honda anymore, but it'll still be the team.

I think the arabs will buy Honda and Dave Richards will have a hand in it. He has a brand ideal to stick on a engine made by cosworth if they decide to go to a single engine supplier.

I like the rumors on that if they end up with one engine manufacture it will be Cosworth, and there thinking on buying the Bracknell based company. It will be awersome if that's true. I got this off my mom she's a huge F1 fan.
