Honda Power Unit Hardware & Software

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

With Honda announcing massive financial loss, not looking good for their F1 ambitions. As we have seen in f1 and other motorsports, Honda takes much longer than their European counterparts to develop upgrades. Doesn't help that they are
so resistant to hiring foreign talents and super stubborn.
Never Give up.

Why do mention stuff like that right after they've announced that they hired a ton of more people and moved personnel from their MotoGP project over to F1 ?

Honda is fixing the vibrations in the motor and better cushioning the batter for Japan. Then they run the PU at full power and check for vibrations. The major steps are a simple as that.

Next time Honda should not be so quick to disband its specialist engineers to other departments.
nay. its a waste of resources to keep highly qualified personel unemployed for years. there was no point to leave them on a dead project without goals. its common sense to find them something they can work. the shame actually is the f1 pu project had no power to gather them back. this means for me the honda corporate leadership is not commited for f1 on the same level they were previously.

You think planning for 2026 while constantly improving the ICE to be the best PU, like Merc, were NOT valid goals? Better goals are to wait till 2023, till their hands are tied. Then use all that advertising money too look like incompetent fools in 2026. Wow, now that a great investment!
