Discuss the post, not the poster.
You and i can never be 100% sure either way, this is the internet. This has crossed from discussion into harassment by now.
Don’t drive people away for no reason.


And consider the 4 scenarios here: you were right or you were not; and he stays or he leaves. In one of 4 possible combinations, this is a huge loss for the forum. All other 3 are meh.
A bit of probing is surely OK, but harassment is not.

Back on topic please.

No I did see that. But you mentioned several things so it was still kinda ambigous, to me at least, which or all parts were being referred to.

If you need certainty the internet is not the place to look…

Maybe I should update my signature…

True. But if we can’t have certainty we must be allowed to discuss the credibility of posters who make these kinds of claims. It’s not fair to say “we can never know and you are not allowed to discuss it”.

Small update for the Gearbox for Canada, maybe software update for better sync between Engine and Gearbox, should give few tenths ..

Don't know how reliable it is but apparently in the simulator it shows 0.5 sec improvement around Miami.

You don’t have to like it or to find it fair, but it is the official line.

There will be official forum warnings for anyone trying to chase away or shut up other forum members. This is not new, by the way.

Protecting your real world persona is a basic thing in this internet. Threaten that, and you will be shown the door. This harassment only makes it impossible for real engineers to join the forum.

The new Aston Martin-Honda gearbox wouldn't arrive until the "AMR26-B," which the team plans to introduce mid-season.

How much gearbox per car are they supposed to use ?
Anyway, AMR 26B should arrive after SPA, or at SPA.

I think they need to put all the dev, the new gearbox and all the ADUO upgrade for this big B version.

Then, it will give them a ton of information to work on for 2027

nachez is reporting that honda has "found something" that they must improve on in the power unit. sounds like a positive if true. i wish i could find the original honda statements. theyve been working on the programming of the gearbox that should improve the car this weekend. i havent seen anything about a spec b though

If they drag it out that long, why not wait for the summer break? It's only two races but more then a month later. (Though not sure how much they are forced to shut down)

Was there even info on ADOU grants released? Who know when the FIA will grant them and allow the introduction of an upgrade.

I don't think it really matters, they start from the back anyway. And won't be going for the championship this year. A few grid penalties won't make a difference.

Couldn't be more vague. I also found things they could improve on: power and vibrations.

Just thinking the same. Weird if they don't find anything to improve.

They're still on the original gearbox, I don't think they've replaced it. The bad behaviour on downshifts that Alonso pointed out isn't resulting in the gearboxes being damaged or replaced. To my knowledge anyways.

Asaki-san has stated the gearbox is crucial for energy recovery as it needs to be able to convert and absorb the forces and synchronize the drivetrain. All while not over heating and causing a failure.
