According to Honda’s new chief executive, Formula 1 is no longer attractive.<\/p>\n
The Japanese manufacturer withdrew from Formula 1 at the end of last year citing financial reasons. In recent years, it has not lived up to its expectations with very few points scored.<\/p>\n
Under the new ownership, the Brawn team is now leading both championships thanks to the help of a Mercedes engine.<\/p>\n
The new director claims that the sport has become much less attractive with all the restrictions in the technical regulations. He admitted that there is no interest in a possible comeback.<\/p>\n

\u00ab On the other hand, F1 is no longer the ideal place for manufacturers to test their various assets. It’s more a sport characterized by numerous restrictions. \u00bb<\/p>\n
