Well the livery is nice. The car also does not have the sickly white look that it had in past years, more of Hondas colors are a definate improvement. The similarities to the Williams are pretty obvious. Hopefully its the unseen that makes the difference. The goofy front wing has been junked too... thank God for that. I am even more anxious now to she the car driven hard and to see if/how/where it has been improved, besides its looks.
Oh and that was the new driving suits that JV had on the Magazine cover. Even that looks better. But how fast will they be?! |

Yep, this one looks much much better than the BAR004.
I even like the paintjob!

There's not alot of revolutionary concepts on this car, rear wing looks like its still the spec from last year, the turning vanes are new, exhausts are evolved from last year, and rear aero is the same concept as last year, except now they've got a better evolved winglet. Although in past years teams usually launch the car with dummy wings and at melbourne is when the real 2003 spec aero kit shows up. Whether that's the case with BAR remains to be seen.
It sure is better than the cars of past years, the nose is alot sleeker and higher up. I think they've done a compromise with the front suspension, it's still a single keel but part of it is independently mounted. It's sorta in the same mold as the jag last year in regards to that front. Apparently the Honda engine is alot lighter and revs over 19000 rpms. If the engine is good, and the car is reliable, I don't see why BAR can't be good, especially with a motivated former champion with imense talents and a hot shot eager to prove himself. They'll probably go toe to toe with Renault, and be right on the tail of the big three. One thing to note on the sponsorship front tho, it seems they've lost a few sponsors. Sonax defected to Mclaren, Tiscali and Acer wasn't on the car or the website. Although Honda has started sponsoring them so it should make up for the difference this year. However their financial future doesn't look too promising especially if the tobacco ban kicks in early. Last edited by PoweredByHonda; 14 Jan 2003 at 21:09. |

Couldn't agree more Jellybabe, I get dizzy looking at the home page, pictures are crappy, but on the launch note...there are no pics of Jacques and David Richards together. JB's car #16 rolled out. A sign of things to come?

Jenson is #17, Jacques is still the number one driver and has #16, so Jenson drove Jacques's car. There isn't a number on the car Jenson tested this morning though. But yes, there were no pictures of JV and Richards together.
