Honda could have two new drivers in 2009 Tuesday 17 June at 14:10 : Neither current race driver is guaranteed his Honda seat beyond this season, team boss Nick Fry has warned.
With both Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello's contracts expiring at the end of the year, Fry points out that the Brackley based outfit is an increasingly attractive proposition amongst other talented drivers on the market.
"We're open minded at the moment and our drivers are aware of that," Fry told the virtual magazine GPWeek.
"Obviously when you have a team principal and technical guru like Ross (Brawn) in the team, we become possibly even more attractive than we were before and the change in the regulations for next year gives teams like us a big opportunity.
"Hopefully we can take advantage of that. At the moment we're not short of offers," Fry added.
It is an open secret in the F1 paddocks this season that Honda is hoping to capitalise on the sweeping rule changes by already switching its focus to the all-new 2009 car. |
