The RA108 will not excel.

Honda seemingly have created another loser of a car.
High-nose has its aero benefits, but mechanical grip wise will hurt the car.

Honda have struggled in previous years by a series of embarrassing direction decisions.

However, they have a very experienced driver line up and a man at the design helm that is slightly more than a rookie. He seems to have had limited success at some 2 bit Italian outfit if I remember rightly and will not have forgotten how to get a car performing.

They have also spend considerable resources in equipment that will allow them to accelerate development (now it's calibrated correctly)

So, early prediction from me is that Honda will be near the pace come Aus. Maybe not podium pace but midfield and getting better until a major revamp in Europe.
