Hyper hypocritical (by 2009 F1 will have energy recovery systems. Yippee!)
Ugly in an unpleasant condescending sort of way
Hypocritical in an unpleasant condescending sort of way
Unpleasant to look at and not in a pleasant "Oh that's quirky" sort of way more a "What on Earth were they thinking, are they on drugs?" sort of way
Perhaps if Honda or F1 had one green credential I could forgive them.

It's pay back for Nagasaki

Since it has no advertising on it and it certainly is different I am not sure whether it is supposed to be some sort of joke or what. Can't imagine Bernie et al allowing that paint scheme. They objected to the half and half car. Looks like a promo type thing.

That will be an interesting argument. If Max and Bernie do object it will sort of blow their new green credentials out of the water.

Is that old Wales or New South Wales? Only ask because I've never trusted the welsh.

Are people from New South Wales called New South Welsh?
And if there is more than one whale shouldn't they be called a school of whelsh?
Don't Honda make extra quiet engines for Japan's hunting fleet?

I have to forgive Honda

apparently there is an actual ecological element in this years car. The paint is biodegradable, apparently it washes off in water. So I for one will be praying for wet races!

Maybe its' just me, but the new Honda RA107 as it currently looks is one slick-looking car........it'll at least stand out from the others.....

I think it would actually look better in the flesh so to speak than in the photo.
