Yeah, this is WAY off topic, not even a mention of something about any kind of Ferrari.Blackout wrote:This is a bit OT but let's sum up:Juzh wrote:I could say the same for you. sorry man, renault has got you again with their empty promises of uber performing engine.
original article was from amus where it was said this engineer is in fact alan permane.
-Taffin in a very measured manner and with some arguments says 40ps is more plausible.
-Scarbs says 50ps approximatively
-Horner and Markko who have been often caught red-handed exagerating things about the engine in the past, often gave different numbers, from 80 to 60hp...
-85hp might be the difference between the 2015 Merc and the 2014 Renault. why not? and in which conditions do we got that difference?
IMO you're the only person who sees ''empty promises and an'' ''uber performing'' engine in Renault's communication... I read French and German (maybe better than english) and I never saw such BS in their interviews. I often see the contrary
I personally think that it'll probably be closer to 40 or 50 hours difference between Renault and Mercedes and Ferrari probably have an extra 10 hp peak but their ers doesn't allow them to use it every lap. I say this because it's a combination between what taffin and scarbs said, both of whom I think are less prone to hyperbole than Horner.
Anyway, what interests me is what approach each team takes to engine development. I'd suggest that Ferrari (this is the Ferrari car thread) will want to fix cooling and ers issues right from the get go and then take an 'agile ' approach to further engine releases so that each development can be thoroughly tested and verified in isolation.
