Honda livery?

Biker
in ForzaMinardi.com Forum
Is this for real or just a pr-stunt? A few Dutch sites show the following picture of what is supposed to be Honda's new livery:

    if it's true: finally someone willing to depart from white liveries
  • viges
    If its on a Dutch site it must be true.
  • Jello_Biafra
    Honda must have money to burn..
  • manlio27
    Were it true, it would not be bad.

    But can't be true, Honda do not have a revolutionary/flamboyant philosophy.
  • Biker
    Well it's official now, they just presented it as their new livery.
  • manlio27
    Ok, then...they surprised me....and I like it!

    Makes those Jordan Bahrain liveries looks good.

    I'm not sure about it. It looks great at a well lit media presentation but what will it look like going through the Curva Grande at 200mph+ wont it just appear as a bluey green blur?
  • forzaminardi
    wow, that's very daring. does that mean, they have no sponsors whatsoever?

    Here's more to read about the sponsoring:

  • minardirule
    Apparently the drivers, team gear, trucks webiste etc wil lall still carry sponsorship but not the cars.............

    I can see that being a difficult concept to sell to sponsors
  • Selespeed
    hidious!

    The upside being that you're associated with a popular movement. I guess.

    On my first quick glance it looked like a Prost with Mildew.

    But at least it has no red so it should be easier to spot in the pack
  • spark
    Cool!
  • Lease
    Three cheers for Honda.

    This is an exceptionally good initiative and they should be applauded.

    Reading that article reminded me of "heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race..."

    Looks like someone's trying to get some mattress time with some hippie chicks.
  • manlio27
    For 2008 thay partially changed the livery, but not the results, apparently: winter tests are of course always not fully indicative, as any team may test what they want, still Jenson and Pubens got the worst chronos at Barcelona tests, 1.4 seconds slower than Red Bulkl and McLaren.....if it goes on like this, poor Jenson.....

    Sorry, couldn't resist ;)
  • viges
    Livery has changed but the Honda still stinks in testing. Oh dear, Jense. Williams look promising but McLaren and Ferrari are still clear leaders.

    I'm very curious to see what Macca is gonna do this year: last year definitely (apart from Ferrari material.....) most of the merit for the quick comeback to the top has to be ascribed to Ferdy, now we have to see if Clewlis is a real superchampion!

    And I'm curious about BMW as well, this will be a crucial season for them, we have to see if they'll be able to keep upfront, or they will make a quick return to the back as it happened to Jordan in 2000, to Toyota in 2006 and to Honda in 2007.
    First tests were not that comforting, and apparently Heidfeld is facing enormous problems to handle the car, Kubica seems a bit more at his ease.

    I definitely can't wait for Melbourne!

    Neither can I. If Bernie has his way this will be my 3rd last Aus GP. Cheers Mate!!!

    Not really expecting any surprises come Melbourne. Fred will finish in the points (not podium).

    It will be a red and silver podium. However, Melbourne tends to spring surprises.

    If the weather plays its part maybe Honda and Red Bull can sneak a few points.

    Lets see...
