Honda Genius Strikes Again (well, actually, it was Simon Fuller, but he's a prat)
Nobody, but nobody, else in the Formula 1 paddock saw this coming. It's just a simply brilliant idea. I love it. I looked around the net a bit, and even the usually cynical Top Gear lot couldn't bring themselves to say anything too bad about the move. I can't wait to see this thing on the grid and on the track, tearing around and generally looking both cool and somewhat menacing. There's a coherence, a flow to the shape of the car which is entirely down to the paint-job. In a sport where most of the cars are beginning to resemble the Batmobile, this design has changed everything, hiding the monstrosity beneath. Hats off to Honda, and (begrudgingly) to 19.
