Agreed. I think this is the solution FIA needs to look at. kerbs that are wide and tall enough to upset the car when the center of the car is over them. Happened to one of the TRs in FP1. I think it was Sainz.

Yep. Inching closer. Are they using HCCI yet?

Fernando Alonso buoyed by 'very good day' with Honda upgrade

i thought they implemented it earlier this year but that was of course all rumors based on token spending. i haven't had a chance to go back to the factory and review the latest changes yet.

edit- Alonso is reverting back to old spec engine for rest of weekend

"So it's a green light for the future, for the end of the season.

"It's mainly reliability-driven, so it's a reinforced block and a few things on the engine.

"There is a possibility to exploit the power unit a little bit better, but it's definitely not just pure power on top [as a result of the upgrade]."

Of course. The engine he ran will be a Suzuka special. Honda always goes full bluetard for the Japanese GP.

Do both and receive compromised results. Got it.

For the record, I'm probably going to pick the other side of the argument regardless. Just a heads up.

WHEN IS FP3?!
