How many CEOs do you know of who spin around in their Formula One cars? Well Takeo Fukui, President and CEO of Honda, is one of a kind.

In a recent Team-BHP discussion, Amit had waxed eloquent of how exciting it would be to have a car guy at the helm of an auto company. Well, Honda has gone one step further. Not only did Mr. Fukui take a couple of hot laps in the BAR-F1 car, but he also took the company's RC211V racer bike around.

Go HONDA!!!

P.S. - Butttttttttttt the most surprising guffaw - The BAR-F1 was running Bridgestones and we all know about their partnership with Michelin in the championship!!

Maybe this is an old pic, from last yuear when they were running the bridgestones. There is no way they will put on these tyres this year.

Awesome, the car really looks good. I wish BAR and Honda would come together and launch a "BAR-Honda" street car.

Simething like the "Mclaren-Merc" SLR.

Nope, this happened in the recent past. But they were running the 2003 BAR-Honda which raced on Bridgestones.
