China: New paint job for Honda Racing F1 in China

Despite being just three years old, it has become tradition at Shanghai for Honda Racing F1 to run in an alternative livery for the Chinese Grand Prix.

In 2004 the team ran Anthony Davidson's car in a bold blue and yellow livery, but toned down the changes on the race cars, just swapping some of the logos. In 2005 the cars saw a little bit of green on the car with, again, a handful of replacement logos.

This year is no exception, with the team again electing not to run Lucky Strike branding, with BAT replacing the tobacco brand with local favourite 555. That also means the usual red is swapped for a striking blue.
