The F1 engine freeze was the subject of controversy again today after an exceedingly literal Honda turned up to last week’s Abu Dhabi test with a 2.4-litre V8.

‘What’s the problem?’ said Honda spokesperson Mya Thdreems. ‘The engine freeze clearly says you can’t change your engine from last time. And the last time we were in F1 was 2008. So our engine is the RA808E. Smell our 18,000rpm rev limit bitches.’

‘This isn’t fair,’ said all other F1 teams. ‘Their car sounds cool.’

‘I look forward to driving the new car,’ said Jenson Button. ‘Sorry, no. Not that. I meant, I look forward to the team making up its fucking mind.’
