Honda heads have started to roll with the announcement that Geoff Willis is to be replaced by the current engineering director Shuhei Nakamoto with immediate effect.

Willis has not been placed into another role inside the team adding to rumours that he will have no place in the Japanese Honda team in the future.

Nakamoto is best known for his involvement in the Honda GP Bike devision, where he was involved in the 250, 750 and the current 1000cc RC211V.

For the time being it is being said that Willis will stay at the Brackley team in an effort to maximise the use of the new full size second wind tunnel.
