I'm sure RB get too look at the bench data from both manufacturers, but unless they are on the same bench in identical conditions there'll be a fair amount of deviation in the data...
well i hope. renault best chance of wining is with redbull and they are begging redbull to choose them. but saying bad things about honda is the wrong thing to do.Either way, from Cyril's comments about RB not being able to win with Honda and the fact that STR out qualified McLaren, it's looking a lot like RB Honda in 2019
that's from the supersoft stint, isn't it?! The pace was decent, but Force India for example was way quicker. Also Leclerc's pace was more or less similar
It wasn't obvious at all, and how do we know there wasn't a problem with a specific component in Gasly's new ICE?
Hartley had the highest speed trap in one of FPs. Also power through the whole range is what matters not just highest power and could make an effect when you have an accelerate/brake/accelerate... situation - even on slight corner in the middle of the straight - you have to go off and back on the throttle - there you would also notice the power difference in the time measurement.McHonda wrote: ↑10 Jun 2018, 11:39What kind of half a second engine upgrade leaves no difference in speed traps or top speed?
You can't just assume Gasly had as good a lap because it's Gasly against Hartley. How would those assumptions have played out at Mercedes and McLaren?
Hartley had 2ths on Gasly in S3 which is just two straights and a chicane so at least start from there before jumping to half a second for little good reason.
