According to the latest reports in British media the Honda Formula 1 team will announce its retirement from Formula One on Friday morning. The Brackley based team will close down its factory if no buyer is found with a few weeks.
Reuters quoted a senior source at a rival team: "They have a month to find a buyer, otherwise they are closing the team."
If the Honda team would retire from Formula One there would be just 18 cars left on the grid next season.
