Yes correct. I couldn't find the original interview so thanks for sharing.muramasa wrote: ↑21 Jun 2018, 19:13I never open that particular site, but is it possibly this speedweek article?

Really? What good would that do! The way these systems work is you learn more about them the more the travel. It`s all well and good doing that if the same engine is never to be used in F1 again [like they did with the glowing renault] but right now Honda/Toro Rosso/Red Bull want as much data as possible so they can get to the finer details of the engine mapping.

these are remarkable parts of interview for me.Honda is also working on a more powerful battery. And, most importantly, the different aggregates need to be better reconciled.
The regulations state that we have to start from the back. But we like to take the risk, because we see this season as a transitional season for 2019.
So good to see such a great comparison. You can see how much tighter the RBR rear end is, but also, where the bulk of the PU is (cylinder head, exhaust manifolds), the STR is noticeably narrower.
I certainly don't agree with this. This shows only a different design choice. While STR chose to basically have a linear decrease in width of their cooling exit, RBR chose a smaller width over its entire length. This doesn't tell you anything about how much space there really is at the car's ends.
True true. I'm just going with the fact the STR we know, as it's been said it isn't their "ideal" design with the PU integration being conservative at best this season, and they claim they've got great ideas for 2019. Yes it could be a philosophy thing here, but I'd be surprised if for next year's STR they widen the sidepods, if anything you'd think they'd narrow out the cooling exit at the rear. Obviously it's just a vague assumption. But who really knows. Just thoughts on a good comparison photo.rscsr wrote: ↑22 Jun 2018, 10:05I certainly don't agree with this.

Maybe RBR uses a higher cross section than STR.
