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.diffuser wrote: ↑20 May 2026, 00:09Did you not see the "Now if any of that`s true or not. I have no idea. I can`t prove it either way."
If you need certainty the internet is not the place to look…
Don't know how reliable it is but apparently in the simulator it shows 0.5 sec improvement around Miami.collindsilva wrote: ↑18 May 2026, 10:35Small update for the Gearbox for Canada, maybe software update for better sync between Engine and Gearbox, should give few tenths ..

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.
How much gearbox per car are they supposed to use ?
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)Jambier wrote: ↑21 May 2026, 21:31How 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
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.zoroastar wrote: ↑22 May 2026, 03:18
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
Just thinking the same. Weird if they don't find anything to improve.mzso wrote: ↑22 May 2026, 09:18Couldn't be more vague. I also found things they could improve on: power and vibrations.zoroastar wrote: ↑22 May 2026, 03:18

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.mzso wrote: ↑22 May 2026, 09:05If they drag it out that long, why not wait for the summer break? It's only two races but more then a month later.

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