That dragonfly must've been scared.

 

Redbull with the EBP paint

 

They have mentioned available 'race replays'. hopefully that goes for practice and qualy too

 

Honda dumping their purse on the table lol (right click will get you larger versions)







Translation from Japanese article from this Reddit user: https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/820r78/honda_pu_15_17_tech_review_feb_18_edition/?st=jedja9fp&sh=d3ef5235

 

Really interesting. Maybe they will get it right this year. It was cool trying to follow the Honda PU development on the F1 Technical forum...but now that ALO doesn't have one I really don't care.

If Honda can get it right finally...RBR-Honda may be dominating F1 in 2019 or 2020.

2021 the book gets re-written. I imagine McLaren and Red Bull will have their own engines then.

 

For RB or McLaren to have their own PUs in 2021 the FIA would really have to dumb down the engines and I don't think that will happen. Cosworth was saying even if the FIA got rid of the MGU-H they would need a partner to be able to develop a PU for 2021. They'll continue with the hybrid element of the PUs for sure.

I'd like to see them keep the MGU-K, dump the MGU-H in favor of a smaller generator on the turbo. Keep V6 and the fuel flow limit (but have limit at 15k) but have unlimited recovery. Go twin turbo and give them tons of MGU-K deployment. Dumping the motor portion of the MGU-H in theory should help simplify the PU mapping. This would still allow a lot of knowledge transfer from current PUs to the new ones and make it a little easier for other manufacturers to get up to speed. I'd be fine with standardizing a lot of the hybrid parts.

The 3 PU limit has got to go too. Make it a PU has to do 3 race weekends.

 

That's an awesome pic!

Looking forward to having GOES S for fire season this year!

 

Interesting Honda article. Doomed marriage it appears.

Each will be better for it.

Times look pretty close this morning...sans the perennially broken McL

 

I really hope Liberty does something with the mics for this year. These cars are sounding pretty good to me.

 

oh Mclaren.

 

3 breakdowns this morning

 

oh wow. didnt realize it was quite so rough this AM.

 

McLaren should buy their bolts from Red Bull.

 

STR only managed 54 laps


Maybe they should go talk to GRO lol

 

STR still look better than they've looked in any pre season testing to date. It would not surprise me to see them fighting for 4th in the constructors championship at this point.

 

Let's see what happens when erryone turns up the powah. I'm not sure their VtaK is as mad as you think it is.

Unless of course the bee whispered sweet nothings in your ears.

 

No way.

Force India and Renault will wipe the floor with them. McLaren *should* but that's up in the air. Team ***** should also be comfortably ahead of STR.

 

I bet Booley a beer that Force India finishes with 2x the WCC points as STR.

What kind of beer do I make him buy me?
