Has "left" BAR Honda.
Honda have bought a 45% stake in BAR and subsequently DR has left under "mutual agreement"
3 years into a 5 year plan, Honda would hardly have squeezed him out if they were happy with things. Maybe the Jenson Button saga finally did for him?
Personally I thought the whole team were doing a great job, getting rid of Jacques Villenueve was a master stroke, using his massive wages to fund the development of the team. I honestly though BAR (Jenson Button) would win a race last season and was massively disappointed they didn't.

Maybe now Honda will manage to squeeze a few extra horses from their engines and make the big step to Grand Prix winners.

Whatever the future holds for BAR, Jenson Button and Dave Richards, I wish you all the best.

C'mon give us an English GP winner again!!! :lol: :lol:


BTW, nice site guys.......!

Some links to the story which offer more detail and the site has some other interesting articles as well.

It would seem Honda were certainly more than a little miffed at the prospect of losing Jenson.......

TFGD. :wink:
