Renault does feel a bit vulnerbale doesn't it, i don't see mercedes going, and certainally not mclaren if a team like that were to go it would be because the sport simply didn't exist anymore.
Honda had an easy choice, the team has consistantly been uncompetitve and cost them a fortune, some of the others at least have some success to make an argument for continuing. I don't get the talking up of their resources and what they can offer to a buyer either, a team like force idea struggled as midland/ spyker but didn't have much to play with. Honda have been awful yet with full manufacturing support, why would anyone trust them with yet more money?
The stuff at the factory on tv and the '3 potential buyers' is just more pr spin as far as i'm concerned, they won't come out and say they're doomed because it doesn't particularly help them to do so, equally having people working away in the background gives the impression that they are going on as normal, but its just spin the same as the endless 'we're working on next years car' which they seem to have said every season to try and explain why the current car doesn't work.
