Fun F1

Instead of Felipe Massa looking like Fred Savage, he’s done a bit of growing up this time and now looks like Sylvester Stallone from Cobra…

Just when you thought the 2007 Honda Earth Dream livery was the worst idea ever, out comes the 2008 Honda Earth Dream livery:

Ok, so the shape of the car looks a little better… I think… hard to tell… the McLaren-style “horns” near the airbox certainly make it look cooler… and there’s no funny Honda wing… But what on earth (no pun intended) are the marketing department at Honda thinking!? White car with a blob on it that could be planet Earth but we’re not quite sure..? Come on guys. This is beyond a joke. All team like casino.

But here we’re all about Formula 1 fun, so nothing’s beyond a joke… We were able to spot a photo of what’s thought to be the Honda marketing department working on some ideas for the 2008 livery before the launch:

When Fernando Alonso won his Formula One World Championships, he certainly seemed to transform in front of our eyes… But I think it was the other drivers that turned green…

 

 

This video is worth watching until the end where he crashes. The guy looks a little shell shocked (ok, I know he’s just doing it to demonstrate but still, you’d probably get a bit dizzy from it at least) hehe

Methinks I better go get my helmet out before trying that…

Why is it that ever since Heikki Kovalainen went to McLaren he’s looked like a robot? In all the photos he’s been standing so rigid – especially those arms! Is he just trying to be C3PO from Star Wars now instead of a Beavis look-alike?
