Until now, Honda has not been able to develop and test its engine while connected to the chassis itself. This was potentially a consequence of the late completion of the AMR26, which technical chief Adrian Newey pushed the build of aggressively. It was not possible to do at Aston Martin’s team base at Silverstone because that is not kitted out with the required equipment.

Having a chassis at Sakura helped with this, as Honda could examine the engine on the dyno while connected to the car itself, with more sensors fitted giving them more to monitor than is possible when the car runs on track in reality.

*Cough*. People here thinking Aston Martin is more advanced than Honda...

I think most people understand well that Aston Martin are a midtier F1 team that is now putting in the work to try and move up to the top. Honda has no excuses.

I would expect both are putting in the work to improve. No point in arguing over finger pointing.

This is a discussion board. We discuss things. None of what we say or discuss has any material impact on what happens.

And it's a perfectly relevant topic to point at one entity that's clearly done a terrible job. What benefit is it to just pretend this isn't the case?

They seem to have made alot of progress with the chassis that AMR left behind in Japan.

That's the engine side. I'm wondering why they haven't brought any aero updates two months into the season.
