After an encouraging qualifying performance, Brendon’s hopes of scoring points from 12th on the grid were frustratingly over before the end of the first lap as he was caught in a collision with Lance Stroll at Turn 5 that took both Brendon and the Williams out of the race. With Pierre having to switch to a previous specification of power unit for qualifying and originally scheduled to start from 16th, the team took the opportunity to introduce a number of new components. Installing a fresh ICE, turbocharger, MGU-H and MGU-K demoted him to the back of the grid, but in reality it was only a drop of three positions and expands the pool of components for future races.
After making a good start, Pierre ran in the top ten for a spell during a long first stint, and then climbed back into 11th place after making his pit stop. While he was unable to get on terms with Charles Leclerc ahead of him in the fight for the final point, Pierre was able to hold off Romain Grosjean as the Haas attacked on fresher tyres for a number of laps.
Sorry, what's the old engine? Thought Gasly was on the new one?
Hartley mentioned he didn't get updated MGU-H that Gasly got?anthonyfa18 wrote: ↑11 Jun 2018, 04:06Do you guys think honda can save the motor that Gasly had to change at the end of fp3 ???

STR figured they could replicate Monaco, when Gasly started with Hypers and made it last for 30 something laps
He had the updated engine. But if Gasly locked brakes and compromised the front tires, all make sense. Anyway it's clear that the engine is a step forward. Let's see next race with better mapping and a bit of good luck with the accidents...
Bingo. Gasly could easily keep up with the Sauber, but to actually make a pass you need a very big pace advantage. As you said yourself, Grosjean with much fresher tyres couldn't pass Gasly. Even though Grosjean's tyres gave him a pace advantage, it wasn't enough to make the pass stick. Same was true for Gasly. He was stuck to Leclerc's gearbox all the way until the leaders lapped them. Then he started to reel Leclerc in again, locked his tyres and the rest is history.Marti_EF3 wrote: ↑11 Jun 2018, 06:50He had the updated engine.
