Mclaren MP4-30 Honda

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

From the one shot we've seen of the engine, it sounds a lot crisper if you take out the rumble, like it will sound a little more high pitched and less groany, which is a definite win in my books.

The same as the Honda V10. It was louder than the rest.

I don't think we will see them do any aero related testing etc until next test, I think this test is all about the engine, so no need to unveil any secrets just yet

I agree but it has to be said...why?!?

This is as good as a factory power unit, Honda will know their heat capacity, mclaren will clearly work to these numbers, this means the dyno simulations should be more or less spot on!

No excuse with 2 years prep....
