A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
What picture are you looking at? It looks like a no-keel :S look at the mount for the upper wishbone... and its got its mirrors in the standard place :S
and those 2 bumps on the top of the nose say to me that its a zero keel. the thing that worrys me is that Even toyota have managed to make the top of the nose flat where as honda have 2 lumps up there.
Can anybody make out what they have done with the front wing, cus its just a black blob to me. i Like the nose, looks Agressive. And they have finaly under cut there side pods.
Looks like loads of works been done on the flips up on the back 2, not very clear, i am sure we will see more when we get better pics.
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

looks like to me..they are on the top of nose cone?
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.
it looks like the side pods really Fold back into the body. The Side pod things... Axes or what ever people have been calling them, are massive, They look like they have design the side pods around them.
I like the nose but the but the front wing looks like they have not done alot of work there.
How dare they paint the car black, you cant see anything clearly.

There are some hi-res pics on Honda F1's site, but as Principessa said, because the car is black you can't really see any of the detail. Having said that the back end looks very tight, looks like they've done a good job so far.
I suppose we'll all have to wait for the new livery to really see what the car looks like
seems very unusual to me, the lower plane is so small and it appears to be completely supported by those two Indy Car stalks, in fact does the whole of the back of the car not look very Indy to you?

Wow Honda must have some serious problems with air management around the sidepods, look at the size of the sidepod vanes!! But this is probably because the RA07 has no bargeboards, unlike ferrari or Renault for example.
