Hasegawa said they are targeting Baku, but are not sure they can get it done. That is how I understood him.

Honda F1 project leader Yusuke Hasegawa has outlined a number of reasons why Honda has been struggling so badly in the beginning of the 2017 Formula One season. He confirmed that lots of problems were not discovered while running on the dynamo meter.
The resonance is coming from the exhaust, you can feel it when the car approaches under braking. It's certainly combustion related, but there's probably frequencies affecting the combustion that they're not listening for because they're not something you can hear, unless you were a dolphin or a dog.n4rf wrote: ↑11 Jun 2017, 03:13I can't see how the combustion would be the problem with the quoted vibrations. Maybe it's the "source" as in what puts in the energy. Well, yeah, what else is producing energy in the engine?
Thinking about it, the pressure gradients translate into the crankcase, but then that is something that is measurable and basic knowledge in series production engines. Something, Honda isn't to bad at.
If I would need to hazard a guess it is something in the cranktrain or drive of camshafts or other auxiliary drives. Those can be a bitch to tune, especially if we keep in mind, that everything on an F1 engine is mounted solid. There's no "engine mounts" that can flex and compensate for some vibrations. Then again, that is something someone from the bike engine department should know everything about, because all bike engines (at least for sporty bikes) are stressed members of the frame and come without insulation for that reason.

Hope that washed at least some of the frustration awaymax_speed wrote: ↑11 Jun 2017, 19:33Anyone who does not believe , See what can mclaren without that honda engine in the back..

. Good job though 
I can not believe it... 
For that very reason, it is happening all the season, I hoped that it did not happen this time
Well i do remember how u wrote that Honda is falsely acused at the start of the season and u said that we are all Mclaren fanboys not wanting to admit its the Mclarens fault for lack of achievements, have u excepted the reality now?JuanjoTS wrote: ↑11 Jun 2017, 22:02For that very reason, it is happening all the season, I hoped that it did not happen this time
In the last stretch of 3 laps passed to 1.18 I thought it was fuel economy, but no, the engine was BREAKING AGAIN.
Yes, In any case the chassis is the 4th or 5th of the grid, although the main problem is the engine.proteus wrote: ↑11 Jun 2017, 22:07Well i do remember how u wrote that Honda is falsely acused at the start of the season and u said that we are all Mclaren fanboys not wanting to admit its the Mclarens fault for lack of achievements, have u excepted the reality now?
McLaren has no other road than Honda, let's wait for the next specification to see that it works.ESPImperium wrote: ↑11 Jun 2017, 22:27Honda and McLaren will divorce now, however Honda will try and get Sauber a McLaren gearbox and suspension supply for 2018 and until they either start to manufacture their own or get one from elsewhere like Xtrac.
McLaren and Mercedes will happen and Alonso will stay for another year as i think Renault will take a serious look at Kubica or take Ocon from Force India, and Ferrari will probably take Sainz from Red Bull for a substantial wedge, leaving Alonso boxed in at McLaren. The driver market will decide for Alonso, Alonso won't decide the driver market.
However, Honda is a shambles, they need more cars on the grid for development and they also need to blend into the background with Sauber and develop in a seen but not heard sense.
