2021 Red Bull Racing F1 Team

Plenums, hydraulics and looms in that area are one of the few remaining PU components that can be replaced without penalty provided they are of identical specification.

I thought Redbull car hit merc's engine cover. But I think there is not damage at engine cover. But if it were damaged it would cause many broken parts went in the cylinder. at least I thought in this way.

These PU’s have an air filter, debris wouldn’t reach the cylinders.

is that filter between inlet and plenum or before plenum ?

Villeneuve Slams FIA for Breaking Their Own ‘Consequences’ Rule in Hamilton-Verstappen Crash Verdict

https://www.essentiallysports.com/ville ... oXGPBJph7g

[e30ernest]

I don't think Max deserved a penalty here, but this is Jolyon's analysis:



He says it's a close one, but compared to previous incidents there, Verstappen wasn't far enough alongside into the corner making it a bit more his fault (just as the stewards concluded).

[FW17]

Which engine was Max using this race, was it slated for more races before the 4th unit being taken?
First thing I was concerned about was the damage to the engine after it landed on the roll hoop.

[SiLo]

Perez absolutely deserved a penalty after not giving the position back.

[Alexf1]

I doubt Verstappen can do with just an ICE, probably the TC and MGU-K were hampered to by the sudden loss of cooling.

Hope so, I fear they will change the ES too to the new spec and therefore have to start from the pitlane

I think the PU components are all locked this year, so no new spec allowed. A start from the pitlane is the rule when you change something in parc ferme for another spec (between start from qualifying till after the race start).

ES spec update to improve reliabity has been approved. This is why Perez started from the pitlane in Zandvoort and Gasly from pitlane in Monza.

Every PU component when it's frozen can have "reliability upgrades". Perez had to start from the pitlane because it was during Parc Ferme

That is not correct.
From the FIA documents:

Car 11: ES (new)

The part has been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate following a written request
from the team concerned, this being in accordance with Article 34.2 of the 2021 Formula One
Sporting Regulations.
But as the above part is different from the one originally used and also changes have been made to
the set up of the car (with the approval of the FIA technical delegate following a written request), car
number 11 should now be required to start from the pit lane according to Article 34.8b of the 2021
Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Because he had to start from the pitlane, they changed also the setup. Has nothing to do with Parc Fermé.


Galsy had the same in Monza.

[Alexf1]

Can we expect some more Hybrid performance now that the ES is more reliable? I remember Gasly and Perez were geven a new ES during Bahrain weekend. And Tsunoda in Imola.

[godlameroso]

We'll know for sure in Sochi, although this is reliability, nothing spectacular.

Both were changed in Parc Ferme. From the letters:

As the energy store is a different specification and was changed whilst the car was in parc ferme, the competitor is required to start the race from the pit lane per article 34.8 b) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

I hope not. Two ES had to be replaced before the first race and a third (and fouth) one was changed before the second race. The ES was breaking down most during the period the Honda PO was at it's best... I hope we see the return of the beast they started the season with.

In which FIA document is that stated?

Can you give me the number and description?

Maybe Max already has the new spec ES. He was the only Honda driver to receive a new ES at the beginning of the Spa weekend. Can't see anything mentioned about a possible specification change in the FIA "New PU elements document" of Spa. In that same type of doc at the French GP there was also no mention of any new specification of the new PU elements that the Honda drivers took (although AMUS said a new spec TC was introduced) so maybe it's only mentioned by Fia if change of spec is taking place under Parc Fermee. That could mean only Yuki is not on the new spec ES yet, but he already has 3 in his pool so with him the gain is maybe not worth the pain yet.
Do we know if a stronger ERS mode is used by any of the Honda drivers with the new spec ES compared to before? It could explain why Max was behind Merc before summer break and came out ahead after.

This gets a bit silly.

From doc_50 at the Italian GP, Gasly:

parc ferme, the competitor is required to start the race from the pit lane per article
34.8 b) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
