It's going to criminal if they let Jenson go for some Belgium pastry.

Remember how the season went last time Fernando was appearing in funny adverts alongside his team-mate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-AQGohc3zI

Is "michigan" slang for something on the hard streets of stevenage?

give it a miss = not bother to go I didn't go before = again give it a michigan = give it a miss again

I've had this post sitting in a txt file half finished for a few days now. I don't know why it took so long, I guess I got busy with work or something.1500quidporsche posted:I haven't taken a close look but on a surface level it just seems like HCCI but with an injector to control detonation. Because of the fuel flow/amount limit, and the 30s limit on ERS use, the manufacturers have to get the biggest bang possible out of a tiny amount of fuel. This is where HCCI and Jet Ignition come in. The major benefit to HCCI and jet ignition is to allow them to get the most power out of an ultra lean intake charge, while still preventing uncontrolled detonation. By being able to control the detonation, they are able to get more power by increasing the compression ratio (think like 15:1 or higher, and that’s before you add in the compression increase the turbo gives you). Also because HCCI/Jet allows them to run ultra lean charges, the engines become fuel sippers. So now that the cars are getting maximum power with less fuel used, teams don’t have to intentionally fuel save as much (or at all). And the less time you spend saving fuel, the more time you spend racing. That’s the benefit to HCCI and Jet Ignition. It’s to stop fuel saving to keep the cars running flat out. Look at what happened to Alonso last race when he stopped saving fuel. He pounded out a super quick time (for McLaren) on a whim, because he was bored. Now imagine if McLaren could run like that all of the time. MustardFacial fucked around with this message at 21:59 on May 6, 2016 |

It's a bit of a false example because if McLaren could run like that, Mercedes could run another 2-3 seconds quicker too. And no-one would notice the slightest difference from now.

But that's my point, the biggest benefit of merc and ferrari's ultra lean combustion is that they are doing less fuel saving than Honda and Renault. Paddy Lowe has already said that all of the engines are probably within 5% of each other. But Ferrari and Merc are more than 5% faster. They got that way by using less fuel at full chat and are able to do less fuel saving. Their long run pace is better as a result.

 Big Effort Post ranting about HCCI and F1's Technical JournaismThere's a couple of problems with HCCI, the biggest issue is that almost by design it encourages major amounts of knock. My chemistry is a little rusty but the theory is that you're making it easier to break the chemical bonds in petroleum thereby giving you more "free energy" at the end of that process. Now this is not really an issue in a four pot engine puttering around town barely above idle but I can't see it working with a tightly packaged V6 Turbo redlining at 12,000 rpm. You can control this to a certain extent by raising the octane (against the rules in F1) but the higher you rev the engine the more precise the timing event for ignition has to be in order to maximize the energy you get from detonation. These aren't insurmountable challenges but the question has to be asked why you would go that route when a spark plug is mandated by the rule, there's a number of compromises to this set up including the fact that you're running a less dense hotter fuel to air mixture and the fact that a misfire at 12,000 rpm isn't too great for engine life or power. This is why I get pissed off about F1's technical journalism, Ted said Ferrari have HCCI and everybody ran with it without even questioning it, they just black boxed the technology and said it worked like diesel, which is fine except a spark plug is mandated by the rules and a HCCI engine is going to be misfiring all over the place unless you're allowed to race the octane of the gas being used so it was pretty clear somebody whispered in Ted's ear that Ferrari had HCCI and everyone took that at face value. I suspect the advantage to Jet Ignition is down to its combustion characteristic compared to a traditional spark plug, if you can shape the exit to the preignition chamber properly you'd get a more even ignition of the combustion chamber versus a conventional spark plug. If you can ignite the air/fuel all at once during maximum compression you're again maximizing the energy being extracted from that ignition event.

It's correct both ways, depending on where you're from. I never said it was the only correct way with a c. wicka you're a man with an eye for detail in what people have and haven't said, come on.
