Honda RA108 2008


Engine fire has been greatly reduced, plus moved forward. Livery has suffered a lot in the process.

Dare I say the RA08's livery with a fire looks oddly fitting?

Poor Honda. Decades of F1 experience and the past 2 years for them have been absolutely dismal, with a budget that rivals Toyota.

Autosport interview with Jenson Button:

Q. Was the viking funeral your car had at the end of the Brazilian Grand Prix, the best moment of the season for you?

JB: It only took one match as well! Amazing. Last year they taped a lighter in my car. They didn't do it this year, they didn't need to either. It caught fire on its own - but it was a fitting end to a great season.

It caught fire, and then somebody's car rolled back into mine, which rolled back into Lewis's, who was trying to get out of his car. I was thinking: 'Okay' this could be interesting.

I'm glad that he has a sense of humour about this!
