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.

The Ferrari just sounded like a loud noise to me (this could simply be down to it being a poor audio recording), the Honda on the other hand sounded like an engine.

I think both Honda and Ferrari engine sounded sweet. However there is 1 difference I noticed when I replayed both the clips multiple times sequentially; Honda engine when fired up started with a steady note for about 3 to 4 seconds before it started making that oscillating / stuttering noise. On the other hand, Ferrari engine when fired up immediately started making that oscillating / stuttering noise.

Dont know why this difference.

I think they did not switch off starter motor in the Ferrari video and we hear its noise. Can it be?

I used to ride motor bikes and they would start in a similar way to the Honda.

Listening again it sounds like the Ferrari engine went straight to it's idle speed while the Honda engine seemed to start a little faster then settle at idle.

Let me guess, more from Italian media that believe that Mclaren & Ferrari are still in ''cold war'' like 10 years ago? Omnicorse maybe?
