Yes they do, but Honda usually doesn't run out of K in a qualy lap. So this happening is odd. Especially as the new ES was brought to us as a good step forward in efficient harvesting so running out of steam so early on that straight while Merc and Ferrari do not is strange.
Is there anyway to find out what components out the pool were used per race? Knowing Lewis had a grid penalty at the beginning on the weekend and weather looking very much like wet weekend, it makes sense they would used the oldest components as all they needed to do was stay ahead and not go for the win. Could also explain max lack of pace.
Not officially no. They usually keep mileage as low as possible on all race engines by circulating (oldest race engine on lower power tracks). Friday engines are used on low modes until they pop or start to get hickups. In the roundup on racefans.net Horner mentions they are happy that Max took a fourth engine as they now have more than 1 engine in the pool which could indicate engine nr.1 is out of the pool (even as friday engine) which would make sense as it must have done nearly 6k km by now.
Ok, Well we know PU 1 has done allot and most likely not even used for practice anymore.
PU 2 was damaged in Silverstone crash.
PU 3 if I recall he took at spa as there was mention of new components there.
So before turkey we know PU 3 maximum 3 races old and PU 4 1 race.
Hopefully these last 2 PU can be pushed little harder than normal as it looks like they going to need it.
