BAR to become Honda?

BAR denied it may be heading for a name change. Despite Japanese carmaker Honda's increasing involvement in the UK-based team, CEO Nick Fry said there is no 'intention' to drop the British American Tobacco-derived moniker. ''Our assumption is that we are not going to do anything different after July,'' he said, referring to the impending Britain-specific tobacco ban. ''BAT is committed to the team.''
