I don't know... it's quite interesting that these designs are coming out of years of intensive aero development, and they still look like things little boys might draw when they should be paying attention in school.
They come out with fewer appendages and it's pathetic. They come out with some crazy convoluted aero (wtf is going with that BMW's nose!?) and then it's ugly.
For the record, I'm not saying they don't remember them, and maybe they sit down and specifically go through which corner is which, who knows. All I'm saying is that I've seen these little diagrams that they always have in the car, and they really look like they have corner numbers on them. Not marshal posts, not escape roads, not bed and breakfasts And I don't find it so hard to believe that the driver might refer to this diagram at some point IF he forgets which number a corner is.
I've seen them too in the cars. I do not doubt they exist in many cars, not just F1 cars. I refuse to believe they are used by the drivers at any time.

That isn't exactly true. The crux of the issue is that aerodynamic devices cannot have fluctuating angles of attack, which would obviously give a huge advantage. The swooping nose pieces which most teams have adopted in the past year obviously flex like crazy when at high speed, but they only move in the vertical plane and have the same angle of attack no matter how much they're flexing. If they changed their pitch (i.e. angle of attack) even a little, they'd be immediately declared illegal.
I kind of like the look of the Honda, it is the opposite of what most people have done, it looks blocky and wierd like a stealth fighter. Paint that thing gun mental with a matte finish and very few sponsors and it would look cool.
It was a happy accident just like you...:hbomb: (just kidding I love you really)
Honda said their aim was to recover the form they had at the end of 2006, so the car is technically a step backwards...but a step forwards at the same time. Its their 2006 car but better, basically.
