Honda 'must' win in '06 - Willis

20 December 2005

Brackley based Honda, formerly BAR, could be about to embark on its best ever year on the grid. Technical director Geoff Willis, recently returned from key team meetings in Japan, has revealed that the squad has never felt more confident after November and December tests.

"We've had very good reliability and performance," he said. Honda is already running with the 2006 V8 and the complete rear end of the new car, RA106. The whole 2006 car will run early in the New Year.

BAR-Honda had a tough 2005 -- the '007' car wasn't up to scratch from the outset and the team even had to sit out a two grand prix ban.

But Willis says: "2006 ought to be one of the best years we've ever had. We really must win races now. We must learn not only to win, but to win regularly," he added.
