learnincurve posted:He's been one of the benchmark drivers for DTM for a while now and DTM is owned by Toto. I am willing to bet one shiny oddly shaped pound that it's the reserve driver at Williams with a view to replacing Stroll if he does not buck up. Stroll is the only one that really comes to mind that you'd want an immediate replacement for this early in the season. Timo is also 35 and he doesn't have the momentum of having been in consecutive seasons in F1 this entire time.... lmao

I rather suspect the combination of Paddy Lowe and Sir Frank would have had a clause in daddy Stroll's contract that says "I promise my boy isn't poo poo but if it turns out he is and is costing the team too much money or is a danger to himself or others you can shitcan him and keep the money"

They're too focused on making continuous, small improvements that their engines are never sufficiently tested. They're iterating too rapidly.

They weren't the only ones to think this would be an aero-dominated formula, but they were the only ones to take it so far, and it was idiotic to thrust that upon Honda in their very first year.

Ferrari had the same concept in '14 but had the common sense to make an engine that wasn't completely unfuckable if the concept failed.

Also testing more than a single cylinder with your concept probably would have helped too

I really wish I could just write a letter to Honda asking them to hire me on as a consultant but there's like zero chance of that since I don't have any engineering qualifications.

1500quid in 2014: Hey guys, let's maybe take a second pass over this put the turbo inside the intake idea, sounds cool but I'm thinking it's probably not the best solution. 1500quid in 2016: Hey guys, these numbers from the single cylinders are great but why don't we try putting this thing together to confirm we aren't just jerking ourselves off.
