I actually like the new Mercedes livery.

The Red Bull one? I like the concept, and a little dash of yellow would have made it good, imo. But with only the two colors (and the strange glossy stripes on the sidepods) it looks odd...

That livery will never be seen on track and y'all know it. It'll be the same Red Bull livery as soon as they get to Spain.

Yeah, I guess it's just a test livery. To be honest, last years test livery was pretty awesome imo, and I wish they'd have the balls to race that. But with big companies likeh Red Bull, brand recognition is everything.

Maybe they can lend the livery to Williams once they used it up in testing.

The reason why Honda engines sound like a fart-in-a-tuba as they decelerate is because the geniuses at Honda decided that they would try and cheat the rules by switching their MGU-H from harvest mode to energy deployment mode...like 20 to 40 times per second. It's the most rear end-backwards retarded way to run a hybrid system. Imagine the shock and the laughs at Mercedes when the engine guys got word of their competitor's "innovation".



They're using the mass of the turbine as a flywheel to receive and then harvest an additional 1MJ of energy from the MGU-K per lap. They just swap it on and off repeatedly. Remember, the turbine's only allowed to go so fast (125000rpm). So during the course of 50 milliseconds, it'll *click* spend 25 milliseconds directing energy from the MGU-K to the MGU-H turbine, spooling it up to max speed. Then *click* another 25 milliseconds will be spent dumping that kinetic energy into the battery. *click* More energy comes in from the MGU-K. *click*

Repeat until the turbo fails.

Great post!

It's like these guys have never heard of a context switch. This is textbook optimization vs reliability and common sense. What a great theoretical idea that throws everything else out the window.

Im an idiot and i dont understand nothing about that very informative and well put post. It seems to me Honda designed their hibrid sistem to be on constant stress trying to harvest and deploy power? Anyways thanks for that!

The Red Bull demo livery is crappy on that car but would probably look good on some other vehicle.

Same, no yellow or blue makes me think it's something else that isn't a red bull but it's cool as a standalone

So many great Ferrari memories! The Schumacher years were great. The more recent years with Kimi have always been fun, more because Kimi is great. Here’s hoping Leclerc smashes it in 2019! :cheers:
