Nope, most of Honda's engineers are English, so a Mars Bar suits them brilliantly.

Well spotted by Duckman, a team were called BAR for about 6 years. Button had his own chocolate bar called "the loser bar", it actually sold very well despite its name. However, it had extra sugar giving Button extra engery, he gained an advantage. It was then taken off the shelves, Button was fined $2 million by the FIA.

Ah, BAR was named after chocolate?

I thought it was Jacques Villeneuve's girlfriend came up with the name whilst he was holidaying in the Welsh mountains... Craig Pollock said "what shall we call the team, JV?" to which the "girlfriend" replied "BAAAAA" ;)

Maybe that's why JV went elsewhere, his girlfriend told him to "BAAA" off to Nascar. ;)

Isnt the Mars Bar Norbert's favourite? So Honda nicked the idea off Mercedes!!

Oh no, more spying controversy.

Norbert won't be happy, Honda copied his favourite snack. I suspect Mercedes-Benz will be lodging an appeal soon.

Norbert Haug sectretly eats Mars Bars to look tough in the F1 paddock, to gain an advantage. Now Honda have copied this idea, throw them out! [lol] :red:

Bernie has ordered everyone to his London office for Friday. I suspect this issue will also be discussed.
Damn Honda, now Mosley will enforce the whole grid to eat Snickers! Where's the competition? >:(( [lol]
F1 is becoming a spec-series [!!!!] >:(( >:(

Yup, I suspect Bernie is probably asking all teams to eat Snickers now. To equalise the fields.

In fact, Force India better watch their back, eating Indian food. Other teams might copy that idea, therefore breaking article of the FIA rules. [lol]
