I like the new livery more than the old one...

Nice oversteer/understeer photo debate guys.

Gosh, they are looking rather awful in testing. And Fisi isn't. :P

I would say(with most other teams) that they were probably sandbagging but I don't know with Honda.

Fisi admitted he was very low on fuel...

The Honda RA108 has adopted the McLaren / BMW - Sauber type viking horns off the airbox.

the whole front end of that car looks like it was designed and glued together by a 4 year old with some cardboard and a pair of safety scissors  :lol:

From that angle, the car looks, slightly better.

Erm, the Viking horns off the airbox thing.. well they look ok on the Hond a but as for their performance enhancement, I haven't a clue.

No harm in taking ideas from a team such as that.

They basically just tidy up air flow after it has been disturbed by the front of the car, so the rear wing has clean undisturbed air and is then able to generate it's downforce most effectively.

Snap on the banana front, infact I've stolen it for my signature elsewhere :P

On the Honda front, looks like another horrible season, they are still been outpaced by the Super Aguri team, whom have not covered practically any test laps and are using an interim 2 year old car :P

Get the impression that the car will be better than last year but it will be 2009 before we see Ross Brawn's true worth.
