Sounded like it wasn't firing on all cylinders except when revved up a bit. Could that be by design though, simple cylinder deactivation? Although I noticed the Benz sounded smooth at all RPMs so I assume that's not what it is because if there was some benefit to that the people with the good engine would be doing it too. Yet another year I am baffled to rediscover that Honda, of all people, can't make engines.

No but real talk you can hear when an engine isn't firing on all cylinders intermittently while running and I would like a Scarbs explanation of why the Honda sounds like that. There's no such thing as a cold start up for F1 engines is there?

Nope, the engines have to be heated before being fired up, or else they don’t seal correctly. You can sometimes see an engine smoke a bit before the turbo warms up enough to stop leaking.

There’s no real way to know based off a tiny out of context sound clip that likely was manipulated but if I was to guess I would say it’s probably for balance reasons. 90 degree V6s are like the worst engines for balance and if the ignition events are spread out at low RPM it might be pretty noticeable so they just control it through cylinder deactivation.

I find it pretty laughable to believe that it’s just down to being a poorly designed engine. Whatever they’re doing there it’s by design.

The hybrid-era Honda always had this sound when running off throttle. It was really extreme during the very first barcelona testing with McLaren, but it stuck since then. According to Honda, it's a feature, and there are dozens of possible explanations of why they change the firing order off throttle, but I haven't seen anything official up until know. You could hear it in free practise in the past, irregardless of McLaren or Toro Rosso.

Ignition system can send a spark wherever it feels like, it hasn’t been physically tied to crank position on most cars since the early 90s.

Having said that I can’t see a reason you would possibly do it and not just opt for cylinder deactivation. You’re going to get knock and incomplete detonation on some cylinders trying that and on such a fuel tight formula I don’t know what that would achieve.

Ignition timing can't change firing order though unless you're talking about cylinder deactivation or something.

Thinking about it... You could conceivably use a really ridiculously over complicated variable valve timing system to change the firing order on an engine and keep full compression but VVT is banned on these engines.

Without mapping it out I feel like it could you just would have ignition on some cylinder at like 20psi compression that would accomplish almost the exact same thing as not sending a spark at all.

Like you could for whatever really dumb reason let full compression on one cylinder happen with no detonation and proceed to the exhaust stroke, detonate another cylinder on its upstroke to full compression then detonate the first one, there’s nothing really stopping you from doing that. It just would accomplish almost nothing.

you only fire half the time (many road engines from merc do this to save fuel, though they also don't inject fuel in them)
(that's the only thing I can think off that wouldn't cause major vibrations and actually gently caress up the overall idea of the engine....then again, it's Honda)

Like seriously: I haven't - to this date - found a sound reason on the net from anyone why the Honda engine does what it does.

There was a single year (IIRC 2016) where the Renault engine had a similar sound off throttle for it's first engine revision that year. They got rid of it pretty soon. Don't know it it's a failed attempt at pre-chamber ignition....

That’s cylinder deactivation

Yeah...technichally changed the firing order, though.

Thing is: obviously (I mean, everyone can hear it) Honda does deactivate cylinders off-throttle, the question is why? We no longer have EBDs anyway, so what's the advantage of changed firing anyway (apart from maybe keeping the turbo revs up, but we have ERS for that)? Keeping up compression with a turbo???

F1DriverQuidenBerg

There’s any number of advantages to doing it, cooling, engine braking, arguably a primitive form of rear ABS, less carbon generated in the combustion chamber so longevity, less energy use out of the hybrid system.

I'd happily bet on them going backwards. Last year they only really beat McLaren, Sauber, Toro Rosso and Williams.

Sauber are now Ferrari's golden boy, Toro Rosso have as much of the Red Bull as they have of the Ferrari and Williams now have 1 3/4 drivers.

It depends how much McLaren and Williams are lying about finding the "one reason our cars sucked monkey balls".

Still, looking that up allowed me to remember Big Stoff finished 1 race in 10 in the middle of the season.

Every single team is bigger than Haas so their hopes rely almost entirely on executing flawlessly and other teams loving up. Last year was great for them because McLaren and Williams hosed up so badly and Force India had to start over from scratch after they got bought out. It's nearly impossible they don't fall back.
