I saw this being reported this morning in Spanish media, I wasn’t sure about it, they claimed the reports were first originated in Germany.

Honda introducing countermeasures

This weekend, we must aim to finish the race with all four cars
So we read that as conservative then?

That’s possible, but my first impression was they’re confident the issue is resolved and won’t reoccur and the don’t foresee any other unrelated issues either.

It's been fun watching this game of telephone being played through the media. Twitter -> reddit translated -> low tier media -> German original reporting -> preemptive statement from Marko -> 2nd tier garbage picking up original German reporting -> loop forever

Not great news.
The cause has yet to be completely determined,Honda will take measures for the parts that they have already known.
They will use Friday's session as much as possible to investigate and take the maximum measures.

J. Wie groß ist die Chance, dass Red Bull am Sonntag zurückschlagen kann?

HM. Wir arbeiten fieberhaft an den Problemen, die wir mit dem Chassis oder in der Abstimmung hatten, es ist aber die Frage, wie schnell da die notwendigen Teile kommen.

Car is still on the edge and not well balanced. They need to figure this out in the next session.

[Bill]

It's all clickbait nothing of substance we don't know wheather He talking pu or whole package other than that he just a marketing man ."were surprised by the progress Mercedes has made, especially in qualifying, so we were a little bit surprised by the gap we had to them.

What we no for sure Honda are running conservative.Rbr has aero balance problems and they run with a lot of downforce nothing to see hear like I said about sky analysis it easily day let wait and see the whole picture will revil itself in the next race or 2.

Verstappen still behind by roughly half a second.

Verstappen still behind by roughly half a second.

FP1 is not accurate, we will see all in FP2 as those results will be used on Sunday if it rains too much tomorrow

[Revs84]

Did anyone else notice that the front wing was swapped on the drivers' car today? Is it just me who thinks Max looks stronger with this package?

I also do wonder if Max's run was a fully fledged quali run or not.
