Default Honda's gonna win in Melbourne.

What? It's become a tradition now. I started it last year and Marco(Honda) continued it through the year.

They probably don't realisitically have a chance for Melbourne but here's hoping!

They've definitely won the most-puketastic car award.

I was really hoping they would take the next step this year and start wining some races.

Here is a quote from JB; "We are really struggling under braking as many drivers behind us found, we have a stability issue, but that

Renault won that by a mile...my 14 mo. old son could have come up with a better livery color scheme.

Honda's livery was fine while on track, it just loses its appeal close up. That being said, I miss the traditional colors.

Agreed, the Honda has nothing on the Renault livery, which is all over the place and uhhh, "puketastic..." To me, the Honda looks pretty awesome sans-sponsors and in motion. But it's a shame they ditched Championship White, with all the history for them in Formula 1 behind that color.

Big F'en surprise that Honda could not find sponsorship, when the team isn't worthy to suck the sweat off a donkeys balls.

Windsors comment was classic as well, Honda and their crappy "Earth Car" is saving fuel left and right by not running in the third session.

You do realize they have sponsors, right? They are just running the car without any sponsors on their livery.

They have quite a few, actually:

Admittedly, what they are lacking is the one BIG sponsor which was the spot BAT fulfilled the past 6 seasons before the tobacco ban. Even if they land a big sponsor during the season, the livery's not going to change anyway.
