You
don't hear a lot about Honda's now-kaput single-seater program anymore,
but they did build the fastest outright F1 car ever made.
Honda's F1
program wasn't a total loss. With rally legends Prodrive running BAR
Honda, the team came second to the all-conquering Ferrari in 2004, for
instance. Honda quit the sport before the '09 season, but their car
(with some modification including a new Mercedes engine) absolutely
dominated and won the championship as a Brawn. Brawn ended up getting
sold to Mercedes, and the team has already won this year's
manufacturer's title.
My favorite
modern F1 moment for Honda came in 2006. It wasn't the worst year for
the team, getting one race win and fourth place in the title standings,
but it was far from the best, and the team could've used some publicity.
