We should buy some ad space on those little wings. S2ki.com right on the side. That would be cool. Anyone know anyone at Honda?

Isn't that ouside the regulatory box that all bodywork must be contained within?

I mean, thinking outside the box is great - but it's also against the technical regulations.

God that looks goofy. I hope it helps them though.


The vertical side winglets on the Renault have been there. Their redbullish mod looks crazy. I hope it hurts them .
