		Gary Paffett is rumoured to be returning to the DTM in 2007 after his attempt to sign for Honda failed to materialise.
		The story of what happened with negotiations depends on who one talks to with Paffett's people saying that he had a better offer and whispers from Honda that he was asking too much.
		It is a nice idea but the only possibility of that is Prodrive and there is no sign that any deal is going down between the German manufacturer and the F1 newcomers.
