"I am very pleased that Jorg will return to Honda. I am looking forward to working with him again. This is the latest in a series of key appointments that we have made in order to bolster our team. We have some very talented people at Honda but Formula One is a rapidly changing sport and we need to evolve in order to keep pace. With the steady performance improvements we have made over the past few races and a strengthened technical team, I am sure that the difficulties we have seen in the first half of 2007 are now behind us."
