Here's one of the new Honda. Looks very similar to their 2008 entry and should be about as successful.

It's a KERS/Hybrid at least.

Clearly you don't fully appreciate the influence that the (only) 2X WDC Miss Fernando Alonso had on the design of the new car.

She needs cupholders, a mirror for makeup, a cellphone holder.....therefore, other design sacrifices needed to be made.

If you do a forum search for 'Amigos', it will all start to make sense.

As VR stated, Alonso is a bit 'estrogen enhanced'.
Here is an iniside video clip of her during the development of the Renault F1 challenger......
(if you look very closely, you'll notice her eyebrows are a perfect match)



Memo to team: No wire hangers for her driving suits.....

Got it, thanks. Actually, I dont dislike Alonso. I think he is a very talented meglomaniac, like most of the successful drivers in F1 seem to be.

Meglomaniac?

I believe you forgot the terms "extortionist", "psychopathic narcist" and "szichophrenic"

But in her spare time, she can drive, just not at the level of a 7X world champion (just putting that out there to see what new YT video Sir A.Wayne has compiled lately)

No problem, as long as everything is OK.
We'll be there in February again (and probably again this weekend for some testing....they're running the track 'backwards' for the Feb race...first time it's been run that way)
