(GMM) The Honda-owned 'BAR' team will not unveil a new name for 2006 and beyond until January.
While Minardi (Scuderia Toro Rosso), Sauber (BMW Sauber F1) and Jordan (Midland MF1 Racing) have confirmed their fledgling identities, BAR don't plan to follow suit soon.
A BAR spokeswoman revealed on Wednesday that the new, unknown name had been lodged with the FIA by the '06 entry deadline.
''Our team name will be confirmed in the New Year,'' she said.
BAR principal Nick Fry let slip recently that 'Honda Racing F1 Team' is a likely frontrunner, while it is known that the Brackley outfit's 2006 identity will be preceded by the 'Honda' prefix.
The team spokeswoman also would not comment on speculation that long time tester Anthony Davidson is unlikely to stay as 'Friday' driver.
