I clearly remember the Mercury factory and Mercury supporters saying that the OMC F1-V8 series/racing could not be successful because no one is interested in racing when there is only one engine supplier..
Pretty funny statement in today's world..:):cheers:
Have you seen the TV ad for Honda lately? It's got a brief shot from inside the cockpit of an F1 tunnel with a Honda logo. So where's the engine?Quote:
