Honda’s 2007 F1 Colours

Well, its definitely more colourful than the Red and White scheme of the past few years, but…. I’m not sure I appreciate what they imply with this one. ;-) Autoblog has details of the new Honda F1 paint job for the 2007 F1 series.

3 weeks and counting!!!!!!!

Probably wouldn’t dislike this new paint job so much if Jenson Button wasn’t still sitting in the #1 car, but I guess different people have different thoughts on that. I dislike Honda simply because they have an arrogant SoB sitting in their #1 car. Dude has his head so far up his butt it still looks like its on his shoulders. Honda obviously like him. Or they just want to try and pretend that they spent their money well… Who knows.

Okay, taking out the whole Jenson Button issue, its definitely a very eye catching look. I’m not sure I like the idea of Europe being on a Japanese car though ;-) Then again, they couldn’t exactly use Japan coz that would’ve meant including China and I’m sure we all know where that would lead ;-)

What I want to know about it all though… Where are the other sponsors going to put their stickers? myearthdream.com is the only one showing up there (thus the globe scheme) and then the Bridgestone logo. In this press piece, I can’t see any other logos of any other sponsors on the car. Does this mean no more big red Lucky Strike dot will ever grace their vehicles again?

I’m looking on the HondaRacingF1.com website and they haven’t officially put any images of this paint scheme up yet. The car they’re showing off there is still all black and has a few other stickers on it. It also shows the Honda branding more instead of the myearthdream.com URL. If you read some of the rumours around, Honda’s new “main” sponsor is Google. Which could most definitely explain a lot.

I still don’t know who I’m going to be cheering on this year. I was a Schumy fan, not a Ferrari fan. His retirement has left me wandering aimlessly through the field looking for a team worth supporting. Maybe I’ll just stick with the big red machines. Kinda gotten used to cheering them on over the years. Still, it just doesn’t feel the same.

alright. a few things…

1) you have severely misjudged Jenson’s character. I know a number of the mechanics that work for him. They love him. They love turnig wrenches for him. I also hear he’s a very good friend to those who are actually his FREIND.

2)Have you not read? Right now there will be NO OTHER SPONSORS. Let me indulge you:

3) its not surprising you have such a poor understanding of things Jenson and Honda related… it was well know last year that 2006 would be the last year for the Honda/Lucky Strike pairing. I guess you didn’t watch the Bazillion GP?

4)cute comments about Japan, China, and Europe. I should come see your stand up comedy act sometime.

Thanks for that Scott. I’m sure your well reasoned and informative comments will be appreciated by others.

1) Personally I don’t really care even the slightest what his team mates and his friends think of him. My personal opinion of Jenson Button is based on the persona that is presented to the general public through the media. And he comes off as being a stuck up, spoiled brat whos in it for the prestige and fame only.

As for whether he’s good to his friends or not, well, that means nothing at all. I could claim I’m good to my friends, but you’d never know the truth of it because you’d never witness it for yourself.

I don’t care if I’ve misjudged him or not. Let him prove to me differently, but based on every interview and all media I’ve seen of him, based on his driving and his race interviews, he’s arrogant and stuck up and the only driver I have ever dislike more is Trulli.

2) No, I’d not seen those press articles. And even then they still claim that its only a rumour that Google will the sole sponsor. They offer nothing other than confirmation that there will be no other sponsor.

Also notice that those articles were posted the same day (and after) as I posted my post to this blog? Hmmmm… Poor showing there. I live a busy life and can’t read every F1 site on the web immediately. You know, that little thing called “Real Life” gets in the way sometimes.

3) Never heard of the Bazillion GP. Must be a rich one.

4) Well now. Someone hasn’t seen even recent world events. The Chinese population goes off even at the mere mention of Japan. Someone put a picture in a Chinese game that looked like the Japanese flag and they had the Chinese gamers going completely over the top in protest.

But hey, who cares right? I mean, they could just change it when they raced around Shanghai.

Whats wrong with putting the continental USA on the cars design? BAR Honda is the name of the team after all. Or would that make too much sense?

Heres a little hint and a tip. If you don’t like what I say, don’t read it and ignore this site. I didn’t ask you to visit here, nor did I ask you to comment. I don’t mind constructive comments, but I prefer the tone be a little less bullshit than yours. Politeness is not hard, but it is required if you ever intend to comment here again without having your future comments deleted.

On that note, have a great day and a wonderful weekend. I am going back to doing what the real world does… Work. :-P
