This week Honda have been testing a radical new set of wings mounted on the nosecone of the Honda RA107.

Honda Elephant Ears RA107

The wing seems like a radical new invention, however we’ve found an exclusive picture of a drawing that proves the new wing is completely unoriginal and was first designed in 1941…

Dumbo Elephant Ears

Seriously Honda, WTF!?!?! The idea of Formula One is to make your car fast, not to make it ugly!

Dumbo is cute. Your car will always be ugly while it has that horrible livery on it.. 8)

And what makes you think the FIA won’t ban the device as quickly as they banned BMW’s vertical nose wings last year? :)

  1. so that is why honda is so slow they have an elephant struped to the nose of the car

  2. Ugly or not, I can’t wait to see this or any other F1 car back on the track. A full one month layoff is unacceptable for any sport. And I thought college football was bad.

  3. mike – Hehe.. are you sure it’s an elephant adding extra weight to the car? I heard it’s Rubens Barrichello! ;)

    Clarke – I’m with you!! If this keeps up we’ll end up only having a race every 4 years and call it the World Cup of Motorsport.. ;)

  4. seriously they will work on the straight but not on a corner .the testing times were down when they tested them i dont think we will see them in spain

  5. i wonder if Honda got any better TV Reception with thoes ears on the front….
