Sq2 and p16 for alonso is way better than expected before the weekend at least. Good progress what ever they have done.

Link on the previous page from Nugnes at motorsport said "Meanwhile, the engine and gearbox have been revving at Honda's dynamic bench in Japan, and the fine work being done in electronic management at Sakura should allow for a quantum leap in Montreal, a track that enhances stop-and-go qualities and where traction plays a role in performance. Will this be the first (small) turnaround? "

Alonso shouldn't continue to say that he is putting the car 7 places up from where it should be. Not after making a mistake.

Alonso doesn't make mistakes.
Something wrong with the car.

Alonso can say what he wants. It's not you who can say what he can or can't say. My god...

Japaneese don't like to talk like that about themselves.

Alonso is just trying to notify people that he and his car might not be fast but his driving is better than most.

Exactly.

And Alonso has nothing to prove. He can say whatever he wants as long as he is, race after race, proving the world class driver that he is.

I can't stand those comments from people who doesn't respect that.

there are a lot of people that have been waiting on him to fall off since that gp2 comment over a decade ago. they just keep waiting and waiting. thats why this whole aston martin honda forum has such a weird dynamic now. its us vs them just like mclaren honda was, because some people cant ever let something go.

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
Couldn't be more vague. I also found things they could improve on: power and vibrations.
in the press meeting wednesday the honda track guy said that they found some things on the dyno relating to combustion and friction that they must improve. is it vague? yes, is it more than weve heard from them for the last 2 months, also yes.

surprisingly nobody has really said anything about how the ADUO will be distributed in this forum in particular. the video at least explains that. i still dont understand when teams would be able to actually get engine parts onto the track.
