but those were turbo v6 motors, not NA v12 and v8 motors. And Honda as a racing team, did very poorly. And now Brawn is being successful with their leftovers.

Re: BMW quitting F1
They were planning on winning this year. They dumped MASSIVE money into their F1 program, and then their cars sucked. F1 politics have been a nightmare lately, and I think because of these two reasons, they're walking away.
Hopefully Kubica doesn't luck himself into a good car next year. I wouldn't mind if he left with BMW.

Re: BMW quitting F1
They were talking about a rival series and then the FIA basically said no matter what they would be involved or something like that. Are you talking about a current partnership with mcclaren? Or was it the partnership mentioned earlier with the turbo v6?
