Honda Sponsorship

Post

Lucky Strike is out... and during the winter testing it is the same black colour scheme for the car for the last couple of years... Does anybody have any idea who the new title sponsor is? I have been reading lately that Honda will be doing something really new to there cars. They even hired some famous marketing guru for the team, Simon Fuller? ( I think he did stuff with the spice girls and the beckhams or some pop idol?)

Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

I think they may be right about the car being used to advertise Honda's green credentials.
Would make sense and please the FIA what with the new regulations on energy recovery etc...
Could this be the start of an environmentaly friendly F1?

I remember hearing something about them teaming up with BP (British Petrol). Has anybody else heard this too?
