Montreal: Plus24

Just 24 hours after the finish of the Canadian Grand Prix, and as the circus heads south to Indianapolis, news needs reporting and gossip needs starting!

The shock rumour coming from the Honda camp just prior to the F1 race in Montreal about Geoff Willis departing the team did not relent over the weekend. The team did it’s best to neither deny nor confirm this story, but it is likely that after Honda’s shake-up and the promotion of Shuhei Nakamoto to a position above Willis’, he has decided to leave. Although Nick Fry has said that Willis may make a return, the general media feeling is that Geoff will sit out the rest of the season while he considers is 2007 options.

Geoff is currently on so-called gardening leave, which means he is a contracted employee of the team.

During that time he is having a think about what he would like to do in the future and we are out here racing, so we will be getting back together with Geoff on our return to decide what will happen then.
