This is more like the front wing instead of the walrus like front nose of the williams last year, which slowed the car down tremendously compared to the year before that.
This is Honda's year to go P1-TS

They moved the rear wing forward quite a bit... I'm guessing they still extend that far back to keep the air exiting the rear element separate from the turbulent air around the rear wheels.

Aerodynamics
Aerodynamic regulations have been dramatically revised in a bid to reduce downforce and hence cut performance. The key changes are a higher nose and front wing section, a changed rear diffuser profile, and the bringing forward of the rear wing structure.
Initial estimates suggest that the changes could cut downforce by as much as 25 percent over 2004. Designers are likely to claw much of this back as their 2005 machines evolve, but slower laps times and trickier-handling cars would seem inevitable.
