I don't have the sector numbers in front of me but from memory it was a Gap of +.750 in S1 and S3 and +1.2 in S2.
Yes, Vandoorne's car. I believe they changed the rules to prevent teams fitting multiple engines at one GP to build up a supply to avoid future penalties, so even if the parts changed after P1 are serviceable they still can't use them without further grid penaltiesHPD wrote: ↑28 Apr 2017, 17:53Any ideas on this? I think he speaks for vandoorne carBy rule 2017. Mclaren will not be able to use the new MGU H and the turbo used in practice free 1.
Only the last used in each gp. @Albert Fabrega

I've seen the car by the site on the fast bend, in fact it is where least time wasters, it does not look very different in aero.GoranF1 wrote: ↑28 Apr 2017, 18:00First race where they use lower drag RW....car looks twitchy for the first time this year...Prodrumou and Co. trying to compensate for poor power.JuanjoTS wrote: ↑28 Apr 2017, 17:24Sector 2 and 3 very bad, are basically sectors of mechanical traction.

They had said the new mapping will help with the resonance issue but hasn't completely cured it. You can still hear it during that clip but I find it isn't as noticeable on the onboard shots vs the track side shots. Seems to be more obvious in the higher gears (which from what I could tell has been that way all season).fellowhoodlums wrote: ↑29 Apr 2017, 01:15Didn't hear any strange upshifts. Has that been cured do you think?

Looks as though there has been some genuine progress with the mapping of the Honda engine. Both McLarens are driving off this corner comparatively conventionally and are no longer gear shifting in odd places. It doesn't sound perfect, but much much better.
