    Honda disbanded their engine team with the exception of a few mechanics that assemble existing designs for Red Bull and then a year too late Lawrence Stoll contracted a disbanded team to design and build a championship winning engine.

    That’s impossible and only the fault of the one who contracted them at an insanely stupid time.

    Of course Honda is taking the money. They’re not investing anything. They are being paid.

      Although that mostly sounds plausible (I don’t know much about it myself): there is reputational risk for Honda, so it’s not quite nothing.
