I heard AM was slower than GP2/F2 on the speed trap, is that true?

Big thanks for that! I think it would be very honorable from Honda to just leave and let AM get partnership with another manufacturer

When I look at the Tempo Data. The AMR26 was pretty fast around Baku in FP3, compared to Lawson. About .6 to .8 was being lost from turn 7 to turn 8. It's not that they get out of turn 7 slow. it's just they don't depoy any energy. Alonso takes his foot off the throttle once he hits 142 KPH, so he's going into recharge mode, while Lawson keeps accelerating to 187.

Looks like it was a deployment problem. They corrected it for quali. Problem is we just don't have enough speed.

I get the frustration but the continuous bashing of Honda isn't gonna change anything. It isn't NEWS anymore.

I am curious if they resolved the vibration issues from FP1 and what caused it.

It sounded like like they put in new PU for FP2 ?

Because they brought a engine evolution a couple of races ago, that was supposed to step by step deliver more power

And we have now see enough races of this new engine to understand that there are no progress
