Hi everyone,

Welcome to another F1 newsletter, catching up with the news from the last few weeks, and a recap of some recent articles on the BellaOnline site.

In the news:

Honda have pulled out of F1 with immediate effect. It came as quite a surprise to the team, to fans and across the globe. However, finances are starting to become a serious problem.

Max Mosley took the opportunity to announce his next standard engine plans. The FIA have teamed up with Cosworth for the engine, and will work with them exclusively for the 2010 season.

Takuma Sato will return to test for Toro Rosso at Jerez next week, for the third time. He'll be hoping to make yet another good impression and land himself a race drive next year.
