[Team] What to call the new Honda Team?

[staid davenport]

So its going to be Button and Barrichello driving the "Brawn"???

Somehow its not quite as evocative as "Ferrari," "McLarren," or even "Red Bull"

Renault the car manufacturer (for example) are known as 'Renault' and not 'Renault F1'.

Brawn GP are also a constructor and therefore cannot be called Brawn F1 for legal reasons.

Someone please correct if wrong!

I see what your saying, but Williams F1 are known as Williams F1. The bottom of the Williams website even states © 2008 Williams F1

Rubbish logo. Did they knock it up with spare Letraset and a 1982 Renault press release?

[dave not neil]

Bloody hell, its only 12hours since all this was announced, and already everyone is slating there logo and colourscheme!
I think theyv'e got bigger things to worry about, like whether this Honda designed car is as bad as the last!
Anyway, a black yellow and white car can't be as bad as vinyl wrapped globe!

[steve_r]

good luck to them I say.

It looks a little bland, but the colour scheme is of little import at present. I'm just glad to see them out there.

PS - Dave Not Neil - Sproston Green eh? Do you still get Japanese Charlatans fans nicking your road signs?

[dave not neil]

Yes! I was waiting for someone to pick up on that!

[dave not neil]

Also, its very Ferrari-esque front end.

[Lotusonpole]

Yes the logo looks a little home made and the car is predominantly white but I'm so very glad they have made it.
As far as the logo goes, it may have been a case of getting one fast.

The mostly all-white colour scheme may suggest a blank canvas for sponsors if any can be found. Or it may be just to get the thing up and running, after all they are late, and what is a colour scheme in the priority of things?
Running it must come before all else.
And there's a little time between now and Australia to apply any proper scheme if they have one to apply that is.
We'll see soon enough.

Cheers
Peter

Haha. Yeah, I'm a Charlatans fan and I'm familiar with Northwich so if I didn't spot it, nobody would.

Maybe it is that there has to be a gap between 'Williams' and 'F1' in order to use the 'F1' trademark.So US F1 could still be possible.

Great to see the team survive. Good Luck to them for the season and lets hope that they get the support to keep them going financially.

The last thing Bernie will want is another team going bust,so I really don't think that BrawnGP will be too worried about cash,if you get my drift.

[P38 in workshop]

Its good hat the grid will not be shrinking and I wish the renamed team well.I expect that the name and the entry could be altered to suit the wishes of a major sponsor,should one come forward and that aspect of the business needs to be taken care of.Either in the guise of Honda or Brawn there has been no evidence of successful sponsor gathering and while there might have been some cash found to get the renewed team moving,the long term finances will need sorting and this is hardly likely to be the best time to be looking.

[TilkeWannabe]

How far along is the BrawnGP/Honda 2009 car??

[Armco Bender]

Fairly well along one would hope...

[chunder]

I ahve seen some pictures, looks like a Renault with na sort of mock up nosecone as thiers has got on it.,

No sponsors, just plain white and lurid yellow striping

[Mekola]

This team is in risk to be called "YAWN GP" by the usual journos with a different point of view from the official one and with a finest sense of humour.

(edited) Ah, I understand. Was a kinda like EuroBrun (at least they give Larrauri a chance).
