Very interesting, Honda must have been put under extreme pressure from RD to get rid of him and rightly so, their entry was the biggest joke, and an insult to a company such as Honda who win in everything they play in.

Quite surprising and weird timing.

Surprising... maybe not. Since he is about to retire anyway, I figure they wanted the new faces on the case right away to get as much experience as possible. Meanwhile, Arai will enjoy another high ranked, wellpaid position within Honda until he retires. In any case, I dont think its a major loss for them: just like Arai, Matsumoto and Hasegawa are supposed to be wellrespected within Honda and Japan, so I dont think it'll take long for them to cover what Arai used to cover.
