He probably meant the improvements in general (which include turbo).

What's frustrating is that they both unreliable and slow. If they at least had power.....


I hope they're keeping the PU tuned down until they fix all the reliability issues and then will start tuning it up....otherwise....

When I look back and look at some of the articles from last year..... It doesn't look like the PU was finalized before Oct 2014.....http://as-web.jp/news/info_smart.php?c_id=1&no=58709

That doesn't leave alot of time for testing.

For the few among us incapable of reading Japanese, here's the Google Translate:
In paddock Hungarian GP, ​​from a is Arai Yasuhisa / Honda Technical Research Institute Director and Senior Managing Executive Officer, the four-wheel race in charge of Honda's F1 general manager, about the current state of the Honda engine development to be worried about, it was possible to hear the interesting.

Currently, that is the most hard time, that's aerodynamic package. If you increase the "output, but want to take larger cooling function, Then it is slow and out aerodynamic disadvantages. How to meet the McLaren's request, or compact to put together is the challenge. I want to still be lowering the center of gravity ...... "


This year, for the good of the package that Mercedes AMG is to separate the turbo of the turbine and compressor, which has been adopted, but at the time in April had said it usually type as either not yet decided to adopt either of the separation type, about it The "Please wait a little more. Since it decided in September or October," said the date of the final decision has been Niowase that close.

In addition, also reports that the turbo supplier has decided to IHI (Ishikawajima-Harima Industries), and you know it "kind of news was Europe but has not yet decided to. Still more than one manufacturer, for example Garrett also to final adjustment with a view, "he said, such as. Arai why the time is spent in the selection of turbo supplier general manager is, explained, "because that is determined depending on whether or not to separate type". Also this regard, plans to determine per this autumn.

Also with respect to fuel, "because it may also vary about 10 horsepower by fuel, very important you want to decide over. Hours" to talk with, Nippon Oil, Idemitsu, Shell, BP, such as the future and a plurality of fuel manufacturer, negotiations that it is scheduled to go packed. (Masahiro Owari)

I wish in a way this happened every race till the end of the season, so that they test a new - IMPROVED - PU each time.

And I wish each race they had 20 pit stops in order to test new components and stuff.

And screw the testing ban, cost savings bs......

They too, but free development was banned a long time ago, now they only have few tokens to improve the PU, so that´s not possible

Will the 20 place Grid Penalty extend to future races as I am sure Alonso will not be on pole in this GP? if they are carried forward then it seems that he will start last at every GP from here on for 2015.

Indeed, some kind of time penalty, stop and go, drive through.

Well, Renault will be getting penalties as well, that way MCL can fight RB, see, some extra entertainment because of the penalties :lol:

They can change a hell of a lot based on "reliability and cost" as set out in the rules. The token spent is for major changes only
