    Honda (F1-2008) RA108

    Honda today unveiled the final livery for their 2008 car. The car hit the track for the first time last week with an all white livery, with Honda waiting until the official unveiling at the team's Brackley Headquarters today to show off their new design to the full. It has to be said, the car didn't exactly impress on its early outings. Honda fans will be hoping the lack of pace was just down to teething problems and the team finding their feet with the car. If they've just carried on where they left off last time then heads will surely be rolling in Japan and Brackley.

    They have carried on the "Earth Dreams" theme from last years car, but have gone for a much changed design. I'm undecided as to whether I prefer it to the old livery or not, but I have to say I'm not a huge fan of either. Oh well, any criticisms of the livery will be last on the list of Honda's priorities as they desperately need to bounce back after a truly appalling display last year. As long as the car scores points regularly no-one at Honda will care what the car looks like.

    Definitely an improvement on last year, but the whole earth scheme is a bit.. hippie. I'd prefer one of Honda's older style, a la the BAR days.

    Yeah, that's a good point.

    A simple red and white. That's all you need.

    The car is even uglier, but the livery just got a little better, even though it's still not very good. I don't like those stripes.

    Might be hard to follow with the BMW cars on TV. But it is not great looking. Minor improvement over last years. I just hope for Honda's sake that they can right the ship and score some freaking points.

    The front half looks real good. I like the stripes a lot.

    It looks like the further you get to the back, the worse it gets...

    interesting new deflector... very radical; and the rear looks much more developed to RA107 too... still, the fron wing looks quite simple. interesting to see how it'll handle
