Well there has been much discussion about McLaren an Honda's new nose designs. But I had no idea what Honda's elephant ears looked like. So for everyone else who hasn't seen them yet, here they are!

Wow those are elephant ears. They look like they would cause lots of drag. What do you suppose that little opening at the very tip of the nose is for?

Don't worry, it'll be banned before the FIA can say Slicks.

Do they, like, WANT their fans to get mocked on forums or something? You're doing bad enough without making your car more stupid-looking Honda. Jeezus

Doesn't it go well with the Earth theme? Elephant ears, butterfly wings, whatever you wanna call them - it's some critter that comes to mind. Oddly enough, sloth is my first association.

And it looks like thats exactly what happened. Didnt see them in Spain. Wonder if they would have changed the outcome of Button hitting Barrichello.

Barrichello's rear tyre will have been cut to shreds by the elephant ear and Honda would have been the laughing stock of the paddock if they already aren't.

being on par in constructo points with Spyker and STR? Why would you say that's a laughing stock?

No doubt Spyker will be the more happy of the 3 teams at the moment.
