Do customer teams have to ability to be assured what horsepower they are garunteed they're getting with their own inhouse dyno or independant testing?
The FIA however has set rules to ensure the engines are identical in their abilities. The fine turning of troque per track is up to the engine support team and the customer though. That is greatly dependent on the chassis.

To minimise the chances of cheating, electrical DC sensors from the FIA’s designated suppliers are attached to different parts of the ERS and there is a torque sensor fitted to the MGU-K.
All cars run the same high-pressure fuel pump, manufactured by a single supplier appointed by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, and two fuel flow metres are positioned in the fuel tank to monitor flow rates.
To keep check on the petrol engine operation, the power output shaft and each driveshaft are fitted with a certified torque measurement system, and pressure and temperature sensors are fitted for the fuel injectors.

What are these theories?! Drugovich is the reserve driver. There is no reason for Drugovich not to drive!
Someone here before mentioned giving the reserve driver a morning session and Alonso doing the rest. I believe that's the best choice. I'll find it weird if they decide to give both an equal share, Fernando's time is much more valuable for the team in multiple ways.
I think an extra day in the car at this time of year is better for Alonso to come to grips with the car quicker and better, from the team's perspective, for the value of the feed back they'll get from Alonso. Putting in a driver that will likely not drive the car again isn't helpful for AMR. Especially with only 3 days of testing. If they could run a second car for the test, that would be ok but they can't. It's just the one car and that time is sooooo precious!
I agree. However I think it makes sense like thisKimiRai wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 21:55Someone here before mentioned giving the reserve driver a morning session and Alonso doing the rest.
