No "seagull" on the nose and no Horns.

They have kept those little winglets on the the inside edge of the end plates.

Oh honda what happen!

The Honda without the seagull ornament is one of the best looking F1 cars in recent years -- how an F1 car should look.

It looks as if they are also trying a more flaccid nose

the nose is sad cus the seagull has gone away.

I am almost sure honda has no wind tunnel and instead of using PC they have a toddler with a crayon.

... circa 2002, you forgot to add ;). The new nose is reminiscent of Ferrari 2001 even.

Also the chassis mounting of the rear leg of the upper front wishbones is different. More aerodynamical.

Quite a drastic development... In my mind they'd better work for the next season. However, I'm not Ross Brawn, he should know better!

Amazing how Toyota and Honda have spent so much to accomplish so little.

And sad how Button's career has turned out so poorly.
