Default BAR-Honda cars seized in France!

As if it couldn't get worse for BAR. They have zero reliability on track and now they might not make the race. Bad week for Honda motorsports, first Mugen now BAR gets in trouble.

I'm sure they will be allowed to race, but they don't need the distraction for sure...

And all that over $3M? Granted they don't have the budget of Ferrari or McLaren, but you'd think they'd have the money to pay that bill.

Well at 9am France time BAR will try to get their cars free. This is so embarassing.

BAR Honda will be able to compete in this weekend's French Grand Prix after a commercial court overruled the seizure notice served on the team yesterday evening by a French bailiff.

wutever....tell J.V. to pull it outta his left jean pocket or write BAR a check. I'm sure he's good for it....

Not very tactful with racing ....or politics in general....just lookin for the easiest solution.... have BAR hook up J.V. with a big I.O.U.

On a serious note, I hope J.V. does a helluva lot better than what I have been reading about....

J.V should leave BAR and go straight to Ferrari.... I know it would never happen, however, it would be kick ***...

J.V is a good driver who is fearless.... in the right car he could be dangerous.

Totally sucks.

Honda needs to totally revaluate the F1 financial and performance strategy a bit more closer.

Definately not a step foward for BAR.
