Still hanging on to the hopes.trust me luck favours brave not people with 0 clues
He is right, 1 upgrade away from the top. Mercedes was behind Aston (even if they managed to score more points) in the beginning of the season and 1 good package later they are in front. Same for Mclaren last year they were lost till mid season.
That's Mattiacci in the video isn't it? Haha
LOL Looks like Mattiacci was forced to do that Q/A with Alonso ahahah. But hey they are both paid several million to get along

The among thing inside the paddock is that like now, Honda is expected to have nearly 10-20hp advantage on the ice for 2026. The electrical battery storage and cooling is where the issue is as Mercedes, Ford, Ferrari are ahead (in the order of performance). Honda is struggling to bring the weight down as well. However it probably for now the only engine not suffering from turbo spikes and lag(Ford and Ferrari are struggling which is why their simulations show horrible spinouts at top speed). Mercedes is still the best option but Honda has the least amount of problems to fix and the msot easiast probelms to fix(this is why they backtracked and rejoined f1 efforts). The ice tech used is very similar to the inline 4 engines used in super gt and the v6 engine used on Indycars.
Hehe, at least I don’t see a gun from any of the two.
If do work, then we will see,if not works then "we have to understand the package "collindsilva wrote: ↑15 Jul 2024, 12:20Any updates after the filming day, do the updates look positive.
"The proof of the pudding is always in the eating, we've found that with these regulations over the last few years,"
"It is a reasonable change in the philosophies of the car, but with all these things, it is relative, it is relatively small.
"The car is not going to go from where we are now to the front of the grid, it is going to be a matter of: 'is it going in the right direction to address the issues we have' and by how much, we will see.
"It will be a bigger step next weekend, and we will see.
"The main parts are very tight on production, so we're targeting them for Hungary, but there will also be some circuit-specific parts such as the low-drag rear-wing for Spa."
