Saw this on vtec.net and could only think "What a retarded paint scheme".
Seriously, it's racing - we're not helping the environment, we're not cutting emissions, we're just burning old dinosaurs and making lots of noise.
A white/red scheme would have been so much nicer to me.
They'll definitely be easy to pick out of the crowd, though.
I wonder what the driver's suits will look like.

That is the lamest looking F1 car ever. I was excited about the new car too....this puts a minor damper on it. I thought this was funny though, "the RA107, will feature no commercial logos at all," except for the Bridgestone stickers on the front since they are the sole supplier now haha.

From Top Gear,
Honda, as you can see from the official video above, has revealed a radical new livery for the 2007 F1 season.
Surprised? So are we. It's a bold move that will leave the rest of the grid looking a little paint-by-numbers.
Instead of advertising and sponsors' logos, the RA107 is wrapped in a single huge image of the earth, part of a green initiative to help raise awareness of environmental issues.
"Climate change is probably the single biggest issue facing the global community, and F1 is not immune from it," says Nick Fry, chief executive of Honda Racing F1.
"We believe that F1, with its huge global profile and cutting-edge technology, can play an important role in not only highlighting the issue but also playing our part in developing solutions."
Using a three-mile-per-gallon car to fight global warming might seem like a contradiction, but the publicity generated will be huge.
Brainchild of Simon Fuller's agency 19, the myearthdream initiative aims to use the attention to invite fans to get behind the environmental message by pledging to make a green lifestyle change and donating money to an environmental charity.
The name of each donor will form a single pixel on the surface of the new car, which together will build the image of earth. Each name will be visible on the website, or under a microscope on the car.
Honda making me even prouder to be a fan!
