The Honda RA106 - 2006 F1 Contender

Post by Ed » Wed Jan 25, 2006 7:47 pm

Honda unveiled today (Wednesday) the RA106, the 2006 F1 Contender at Barcelona.

The team aims to challenge for race wins in 2006.

Nick Fry said:
Our target in 2006 is to challenge for race wins and we will do our utmost to achieve that objective.
During 2005 we put in place some important building blocks that will help us meet our targets in 2006 and beyond. We secured two of the best racing drivers in the world, we proved our ability to develop a car through the season, resulting in points for Jenson in each of the last ten races, and we gained a better understanding of the strengths of the 2004 car and the issues with our 2005 race car.

I think it actually looks quite good....... :? but its all fine and dandy to look at the picture, the real question is..."How fast is it?" my answer...not quick enough to challenge for the title unfortunately.....maybe 3rd in the championship.... :?

I think they will finally win a race or two but win the title :shock: :shock:

Rubens needs a season to stop thinking he is following Michael and Button needs to learn to stop talking and start driving :lol:
I'm back and yes supporting Alonso "The Cute" in the Ferrari!

I think the poll needs to be expanded to:

a) they will win a few races, and jenson will be one of them; or
b) they will win a few races, and jenson wont be one of them.

I'll be voting for the latter. RB will race whatever they Honda gives him (he's used to that) - and Jense will keep complaining that it isnt right yet.

Thanks for your suggestion,

These polls are about the team. We are setting a poll for each team as they announce their new car.
So you can vote in the poll and add the comments (as you did).

There is a poll already regarding Barrichello and Button here
