This takes their investment in the team to new levels, as they already spend ?100𝔉 million on engine development.
The decision to dispense with former boss David Richards meanwhile, was also according to the tabloid, to 'smooth the way' for B🌳utton to stay beyond 2005, after the two fell out following Jenson's decision to try and re-join Williams.
An 'insider' reportedly told the 'paper: "With Richards going and🌳 the development of the new wind tunnel, this will give Jenson the chance of a new start and can only improve his chances of becoming world champion.
"During 🌺Button's relationshiꦅp with Richards at BAR, the couple hardly spoke, and Jenson's decision to move to Williams caused even more friction.
"Hཧonda obviously want to be champs with Button in the car and that's why they felt a change at the top was needed."
