Honda Power Unit Hardware & Software

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

That's article was written by someone who definitely despise honda they is nothing in there that resable truth for example ,honda says they have best battery tech then the writer says they are rubbish. Same with Aramco who are expected to have best fuel but author writes polar opposite.

Yes. And very British biassed as you'd guess from The Race. We'll see what Honda delivers in due time.

Can we have a think about the nonsense that "British Bias" as an argument actually is?

The majority of media prints in English, doesn't mean it is British. The majority of the sport is based out of the UK - doesn't implicate bias.

it is a very emotive and subjective phrase and adds little value to this thread on Honda.

Not just you Dren, but there's several others of late - it is tiresome and not in keeping with what ought to be a more adult place to discuss technical elements of a niche sport..


I read that article too - it is a load of waffle - doesn't make it British waffle..it is just a load of scaremongering and has not nationality based opinion to it.

China is a leading power in the production and development of electric vehicle batteries, and there's fierce competition and demand for their products. Honda has long since lost its position in the global market; you're simply afraid to acknowledge the reality.

Honda are the only manufacturer who has built a full fledged solid state battery factory in Sakura were they make their pu.most of the talk about magic batteries are usually relegated to lab experiments that never see light of day.so honda do take these project seriously and has massively invested.

There is no MGUH in the Vee anymore!

Guys this is a new power unit regulation from what we had in the last eleven years. I think they deserve their own threads don't you?
