Ugly car, and bizarre choice of video.

That car looks really out dated to me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

looks odd but i hope button can get the car i nthe top six in this weeks test

Funny vid but I'm not quire seeing the connection NeilPearson lol. As for Honda, hmmn, I dont feel too optimistic about them, same as Toyota. Japanese run teams with not really the right idea of how to do things, have probably had their best seasons (2004 BAR, 2005 Toyota) and I doubt they'll hit such form again this year.

I'll wait till I see an official announcement and the new livery before I judge how the car looks though

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

I guess Neil only likes british f1 cars

More logical is that he has feelings of throwing up when seeing that Honda.

I dont know why Jenson did not leave at the end of last season! Looks like this years Honda is going to be the worst car of the whole field! Once again they are at the bottom of the time sheets today!

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Button: "New car is worse than RA107"
After get his first tast of the new Honda RA108, Jenson Button has said that new car is not a big improvement respect last year one: "car doesn't have any grip, traction is very poor at the exit of the slow corners and at high speed ones it feels strange. We need to change alot of it, they said me the new parts will come at the next test, but i'm unsure that will make enough difference to be atleast at the top of the midfield".

how hard is it to get, she is throwing up over something she dosent like.

Wheres that quote from?

And anyone noticed the shape of the nose is not as its painted...

Seriously don't take the times too literally yet, most of the teams will be saving the areo pieces to the last minute full testing so that teams can't copy straight away, always happens. Although i have to worry that at this stage the Honda is at the bottom of the times i cant go through another Crap season For Honda. How did they get it so wrong from the 2006 car i mean Jenson scored the most points of any driver at the back end of the 06' season.

Barrichello has already stated he's not happy at all with the new car. Obviously he did say the 2008 car is better than the 2007 car - adding that this car couldn't get worse than the RA107

Once again he starts the season doing the same things, when will he change? The guy will never stop with his silly complaints and excuses (just in case he does another bad season, as usual). It's about time he retired, isnt it? Bah.

What I dont like is the way he complains/moans - he just trashes the car in the newspapers (i.e. "The aero of this car acts like a parachute!", "This car is a tireless $##@*!" and doesnt give the reasons or any explanation of what is going wrong or what is OK, unlike other drivers (from what I read in their interviews).

But indeed the RA108 isnt looking good from what I've seen. I dont know how Jenson still is being patient with them. I'd just leave them if the car at Melbourne proves to be crap again, theres no point in fighting at the back of the grid for another season... It's a shame that his talent is being wasted in these crap japanese cars. Honda will never win races as a constructor in modern F1, unless they change completely their philoshopy.

Yes, because the 2007 car wasn't bad, Rubens was just making excuses. The wind tunnel wasn't wrongly configured, it was just Rubens making excuses. Jenson wasn't struggling in the same rubbish car, it was just Rubens making excuses. Once again you start YOUR post doing the same things, when will you change?

If the car is crap, the car is crap. And given Hondas record of crap cars and Rubens history of driving some quite good ones, I'm willing to go with Rubens opinion on the car has some issues. And when Jenson says the same thing, I fully expect a post from you telling us how Rubens is moaning, but Jenson is just telling it like it is.

Jenson has been quiet recently. Perhaps he is regretting getting sucked into the Honda promise. Despite his best efforts, they have consistently failed to delivery. Rubens has been more vocal, but he has the right to be. Like Jenson he is holdinh up his end of the bargin, and despite the massive budget, Honda are making screw ups that school children would be ashamed of. Quite simply, Honda is screwing both there drivers. It is ending Rubens career, and it's having a good go at drowning Jensons with it. If I was Rubens, I'd be that vocal, and if I was Jenson, I'd be doing the same as Rubens.

He was doing better when Louise was around, maybe it motivated the mechanics to see her

It motivated the mechanics to pack up and go home sooner. I'd do the same if I saw Louise approaching.

*remembers her interviewing Johnny Herbert in a bra (hers, not Johnny's)*

*freaks out and runs away screaming*

Wrong louise gav

I was wondering then why Gav wanted to run away from here...

Going back to the car...it seems Honda will struggle again this year. The car seems slow and if Aguri Suzuki disappears, I can see the RA107 battling with Force India...or being the worse team of the grid!! Because Toro Rosso seems quite fast by now and Toyota has improved a little bit so...uf!! A lot of work ahead for Ross Brawn.
