Honda, Bridgestone, now Toyota, as was hinted at back in August, is said to be out of the game leaving no Japanese involvement in the world's leading motor racing series.
It remains to be seen if they will continue as an engine supplier and how they will deal with the fact they signed a contract to race in F1 through 2012. Upshot is it looks like Formula 1's getting closer and closer to Max Mosley's dream of a Cosworth powered spec series and what a huge mistake it was for FOTA not to break away and be done with Formula 1 as it now exists.
