I agree with 1500quidporsche he's clearly saying that the engine is less powerful

Stop instigating.

Seriously, when I get home tonight I will make a MS paint drawing that will clearly illustrate what I'm saying.

it should not be difficult to understand that a bad engine can become better and yet still require more progress. saying they need more top end power doesn't mean they have less, it just means they need more yet.

I have come to the conclusion that the engine may or may not be more powerful than last year.

i don't care about your drawings. i care about what written in an article you did not read.

you ask why everything has to be a debate with me. it has nothing to do with me. it is exclusively your fault.

It's a poorly-worded article imo, and it isn't clear if he's referring to the ICE component when he says "almost at the point last year".

equivalent means "as good/powerful as" and almost means "very nearly"

I'm almost certain something was lost in translation and he's referencing the power band of the ICE, that turbo last year was horrible and everyone said they were using all the ERS smoothing out the torque. If you fixed that it's free power.

equivalent means the same. it can be 1hp less powerful or 1hp more powerful than last year; in both situations it would be almost equivalent. considering nothing he says suggests the engine has regressed, obviously it's slightly more powerful.

I'm not intimidated by Wicka I just wish he would meet in a middle ground instead of doubling down. I'm not saying by any measure that engine is worse than last year but he keeps assuming that's what I'm saying.

So according to autosport Hasegawa is saying the Honda unit is actually producing fractionally less power compared to the end of last year.

is directly contradicted by the article.

wicka

right - they need more top end speed. that doesn't mean they have less than before. that means they need more, period. the engine was poo poo last year. it needed to be improved in every single area. to suggest that it needs more top end speed in no way implies that it got worse. that idea was entirely fabricated by you.

I am not attacking you, that is the difference, you seem to take offence at everything and any criticism tor differing opions to what you say you take unbelievably personal and will proceed to try and 'out argue' <insert opponent of the day here> until you are satisfied that everyone has got the message on how pedantic you are.
