The last time Honda was able to celebrate points in Formula One came in 2008, when Rubens Barrichello took a surprise third in a chaotic British Grand Prix at Silverstone which saw heavy rain. It was a rare moment of joy for the team, which ended the season with a total of just 14 points and withdrew from the sport at the end of the year.
