After last years poor performance, visually with their atrocious livery, and on the track with their staggeringly poor performance, the Honda team decided it was time for a complete revamp. Honda has one of the biggest budgets in F1, but has seen little success in return. Last season, the Honda team had been embarrassed by the comparative success of their B-team Super Aguri... along with just about every other team, big and small. With Brawn behind the proverbial wheel, however, Honda is bound to become a force with which to be reckoned.
"We have decided to follow the lead of McLaren and simply copy Ferrari." said new team principal Ross Brawn, "But since my expertise pertains to the older Ferraris, the team has deemed it most efficient to copy the F2002."
"As for that terrible livery last year," continued Brawn, "Honda has given up on obtaining sponsorship and has copied Ferrari's in the hope they will eventually pay us."
Elsewhere around the paddock, former Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello seems most pleased with the new Honda effort.
"It feel good to be in a car I'm so familiar with. I believe this to be the right approach for our team. However, my bigger concern is the team's decision to copy Vettal's haircut. We look like a freakish German chia pets." said Barrichello after testing.
