OK, now that's a paradox. Honda quit F1 at the end of 2008 season having already developed a car capable of winning the title in 2009.

Renault's managing director Jean-François Caubet said that companies will have to start from scratch with the upcoming new rules and he stated that a third manufacturer will join F1 in 2013. He said that a likely return of BMW is too premature and VW still hesitates. Caubet said that the third company will be a Japanese one and Honda is seriously considering a come back...
