I've got to admit, I've been enjoying the MotoGP highlights, I just need to make sure I don't catch the result before I get a chance to watch it

About the whole going back to 2015 style qualifying from next round onwards was only agreed because quote:In the meantime, and throughout the course of the year, the teams will undergo "a global assessment of the format of the weekend", with the prospect an overhaul will be in place for 2017. So I wonder what kind of retarded poo poo Bernie will force through for 2017 quali

Lewis sure likes his snapchat - I think I watched about 3 minutes non-stop of Great Wall of China footage while waiting for a haircut. To be honest, I kinda like being able to see some of the unusual or scenic places he ends up visiting. It's usually more interesting than other drivers' twitter/instagram feeds which are mostly shots of their factory or car and 'must do better' motivational quotes.

So according to autosport Hasegawa is saying the Honda unit is actually producing fractionally less power compared to the end of last year. edit: to put it in context I'm fairly certain he's talking about top end performance as the driveability and actual power band seems way better than last year's

1500quidporsche posted:Read the last line of the article. the article is about the combustion engine specifically, not the entire power unit. most of the gains they've made this year have been ERS-related, which can now deploy all 160hp for a full straight. the ICE is, as i understand it, effectively the same. in no way does that suggest less.

I have a strong suspicion that, as I said before: It probably does produce fractionally less power at the top end compared to last year in favor of better torque throughout the revs.

that's great. it still doesn't change the fact that hasegawa in no way whatsoever suggested the power unit is weaker.

Holy poo poo Wicka does everything have to escalate into a massive debate with you? I merely posted an interesting fact, Honda has less top end power compared to last year. That's not a criticism, it's an aspect of their power unit.

he says they need more top end speed, NOT that they have less top end speed than they did last year - just that they need more to catch up to the other teams. this is obvious. the engine is better than it was last year but still not good enough. wow. shocker.

There's also the part where Hasegawa says it's hard for them to pass Haas and Sauber, and literally says "we need more top-end speed." I think it's pretty clear in this instance "almost equivalent" doesn't mean slightly more. ^^ Yeah, more or less. Sounds like he's basically saying there's more power they can draw out of the engine but haven't because they wanted to finish races. \/\/ Also this.

Regardless if they have more or less power than last year I think we can all agree that McLaren are poo poo and we can all laugh at the fact they are getting beat by Team America F1.

I just wanted to see if we could get into a semantic argument about whether or not the witch is dead and/or how she potentially came to be dead and if so what will be done about the death of the witch and futhermore

I think it's pretty clear in this instance "almost equivalent" doesn't mean slightly more. It's also fairly easy to deduce that since that thing had huge deployment issues last year and one of the ERS' job is to smooth out the torque curve they've sacrificed power in high revs to smooth it out and use the ERS deployment elsewhere. It's absolutely the right thing to do, but you can also say it has slightly less top end power as a result of it. But what do I know, In obviously off in fantasy land and don't know what I'm talking about. It's not like I read tuning manuals for fun or anything.

there's no argument happening. 1500quidporsche read an interview where honda said their power unit is more powerful and came to the conclusion that it is less powerful. obviously he is mistaken. let's all move on.

# ? Apr 12, 2016 20:35 |

I'm not saying on the whole it's less powerful. In fact I'm saying quite the opposite, I'm saying that instead of chasing peak power they've correctly decided that improving torque through the revs is the better option and it shows in the step forward they've taken.
