Honda to supply Williams ????

Dont know if u guys have read this yet...

"Further to the rumour that BMW is considering buying Peter Sauber's eponymous team to ramp up its Formula One efforts comes speculation that Williams will return to Honda power from 2006, but lose the increasingly impressive Nick Heidfeld to its current engine supplier.

Although BMW's Mario Theissen insisted that it would be at least a month before any deal with Sauber...."

Wonder how much truth is in that rumour

Too bad they're losing JB anyway.

BAR needs to be the Honda team that gets the focus...even though there is the whole Red Bull thing.

Williams had Honda a long while back, I thought they didn't part on the best terms when McLaren poached the engines for Senna and Prost?

Well there is also Toyota which Williams is trying to go to bed with. But considering Toyota has their own team, I think Honda stands a better chance, altho there has been talk that Honda doesnt want to go with more than one team at the moment.

If the above rumour is true, then Williams will get a Honda Engine, Bridgestone tyre and JB to drive that car. So Honda would still get JB's services.

Or Honda could trade Button's contract with a supply of V8 engines to Williams.
