Yeap. But watch what they do, rather than just listen to what they say Pok. 
Honda is only bettered in terms of $$ spent, by Toyota.
Additionally, F1 investment without an intelligent team is redundant - Honda have assembled a very strong team led by Brawn. These factors combine should put them further and further up the grid next season / beyond.

15 mil for Alonso sounds abit cheap.

Like i said. They hire all these drivers to race for them and hope the world of the driver. BUT if the car is crap what do you expect Alonso to do ??
It will be 2010 before Honda is really competetive.

Really, why 2010?
Next years cars introduces new technologies and dynamics and thus levels the playing field somewhat. Honda are spending most of this year refining the 2009 car, they will also have a substantial development advantage over the others.

more Kubica-to-Ferrari rumors

Behind closed doors, another equally intense struggle is taking place in the paddock – and the prize is a seat at Ferrari in 2010. BMW's highly rated Pole Robert Kubica is believed to have negotiated a 12-month extension to his contract, rather than sign the team's preferred three-year deal. If BMW do not emerge as a consistently competitive force next year, Kubica will be free to seek alternative employment – and out-of-sorts world champion Raikkonen's Ferrari contract expires at the end of 2009.

^^ It blows me away that Kimi is considered to have "lost his edge".
He's had 3, maybe 4 unfortunate events this season beyond his control. Engine failure, exhaust failure, running up Sutil (Monaco), blown-engine in Valencia...
He would be high in the points stakes, if he wasn't plagued by the bad-luck run he's had recently.
Yes, that is racing. No, it doesn't mean he's necessarily lost his edge.

I dont think Honda will change drivers for next year.
Also Kimi still has all that talent weve seen before.
He can never be written off..

I think some people expect Ferrari's #1 to be schumacher after mika like at all times, and the same people also think Massa is rubbish, to which i disagree. So i guess the last few races make Kimi seem sub-rubbish to all these followers. Mind you, due to the great success Ferrari has had the last years, they also have a ton of crappy fans, that don't really know the sport that much, they just like to feel like winners w/o much effort.

Ferrari over the years has never overtly forced drivers out. Irvine, Schumacher and Barrichello all left of their own accord, and that's all who've left.
