Could you put more details about the Honda´s Earth Dream concept been dropped, please?

I did a cursory seach and found nothing new about the Earth/Dreams livery. Therefore, I second Becken’s request for info.

That’s gotta be some sort of record?

Well, Ferrari have been painting their car in a similar livery for a few years! But there is tradition behind that.

I was about to suggest that Toyota might be trying to do a similar thing, but remembered that earlier in the year there was talk of Toyota pulling the plug on the F1 team. Although that is looking a little less likely now they’ve improved a bit; even with the economy in the state it is in I can’t see them disbanding the operation just yet.

Gotta disagree. I think Williams have again outclassed the rest of the pack. They took a different approach and I think it worked. It’s sad to see them struggling, but at least they’re struggling in style.

Big well done to Toyota though. Somehow they’ve managed to build cars that look almost exactly the same for seven years running. That’s gotta be some sort of record?

Steven (or Ollie)

Unfortunately, I don’t have Brazilian Autosport magazine here in Brazil and the current edition arrives here a week later.

Another question: do you think guys, that this could influence the team´s choice between Rubens and Bruno?

Thanks!

(P.S. Ollie, sorry for post an off topic comment!)

I really like the nosecone of the Ferrari, how the top bridge seamlessly joins with the main nose, and as devoid of CFD add-ons such as the antlers that cropped up mid-season.

I hope that Ferrari can produce a beautiful 2009 car, because the Williams and BMW efforts so far look very odd.

To me the McLaren and Force India liveries were too alike. Thankfully, the two hardly every shared much screen time together, unless the latter was being lapped. I guess this was an indication of things to come now that they’re the ‘McLaren B-Team’.

My favourite livery? The Red Bull one. Bias or not, I think it’s a little bit different and stands out much more than the dull others. When they started tacking on the Red Bull Cola logos to the rear-wing and barge-boards things took a bit of nose-dive though!

According to last week’s Autosport the earthdreams nonsense is being dropped in favour of putting sponsors on the car.

[...] Ollie on BlogF1 was less receptive: I’ve never really been a fan of knock-out systems as it only reduces the number of potentially odd possibilities, one-off specials and rain-induced pole positions from the back-of-the-grid teams. [...]
