Tech analysis: Honda RA106
The RA106 is the first car Honda are running in almost four decades as a constructor, and much hope and optimism is pinned on the new car. Craig Scarborough takes a close look at the new challenger
Now under full Honda ownership, the team formerly known as BAR are entering their seventh year in Formula One. Yet while the team attained a strong finish to the 2004 season, they struggled in 2005 and courted controversy from technical infringements along the way.
This year's car, labelled the RA106, has adopted substantially different aerodynamic solutions - including a "zero keel" front end and super-slim sidepods, mated to the all-new V8 engine and a revised carbon fibre gearbox.
