Human Grand Prix posted:To be honest, I didn't think it would even make it this far into FP1. Well they did already have a loss of water pressure about 45 minutes in. Also in the interest of fairness the Ferrari isn't exactly screaming either so maybe they're just really really turning it down until the vibration thing is solved.

Is this just a hobby for Honda? I'm being serious because their approach is about the same as mine is towards karting where I can't be assed to fix things for months at a time, it really seems like they just like going to races and wrenching on F1 cars so they asked for a budget to do that. Edit: loving

quote:Furthermore, in a bid to minimise the oscillations, it is understood that Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne have been asked to change gear in a different rev range – which is costing some laptime. How is this not an absolute crisis? Like Honda should be pulling resources from other projects to solve this immediately.

Looking at just how loving grim it is makes Alonso's 12th in free practice pretty drat impressive, too bad they'll be at the back row once everyone else turns the engine up.

The Ron one was my favorite but the Highlander quote is a nice touch to this one. Human Grand Prix posted:This is what happens when you design a brand-new engine from scratch because you wasted 3 years on a very lovely concept. Also you didn't hire anyone that had experience with this formula and also you don't listen to your consultants. I still say they should've used atleast part of last year exploring TJI or some other concept instead of throwing everything at the wall at once like they have.

wicka posted:Honda's IndyCar program is entirely run and funded by Honda America. Corporate has basically no involvement. So if you were wondering why it's so much less of a shitshow, there's your answer. In fairness, outside influence and collaboration with less Corporate involvement is the exact same answer needed for the Honda F1 program.

I seriously don't know where this idea that Mclaren can build engines came from. All they did for their road cars was buy the rights to an old racing engine and then turn them over to an engine designer to bring up to modern spec, durability and emissions standards.

I spent summers out in BC as a kid and I never once had a bag of milk out there. It must be an eastern thing because the only time I have seen it actually being used is in Ontario.

The problem is, they really have to improve this year before the summer break or its completely done. They keep promising and promising and then delivering jack poo poo and then go into the press and say its not as bad as everyone is saying it is. Alonso is almost certainly not going to re-sign unless they're winning races by the end of the year because anything less means its probably just going to be a repeat of this whole narrative next year and I would imagine any prospective sponsor is thinking the same thing.

I still maintain they need to hire Illien and as a show of actual loving commitment and to rebuild any sort of semblance of faith in them they should pay Renault whatever the gently caress is required to get him before his gardening leave is up. edit: wicka posted:I would guess, based on literally nothing, that any commitment from McLaren is dependent on Honda continuing to pay them, like, $150m/season. They can ride out any struggles pretty much indefinitely so long as Honda makes up for it. You can see in countless other sports just how important tradition can be. McLaren's never going to struggle to hire the best and brightest engineers. If they create a situation so toxic that Honda has to terminate then Mclaren likely gets a decent portion of that money anyways, and the issue is the team is reaching a point very rapidly that sponsors are completely uninterested in signing them because the results will never come. Lest we forget they hired a marketing guy to head up the team and they've signed zero sponsors since that's happened. F1DriverQuidenBerg fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Mar 25, 2017 |

Carth Dookie posted:If Williams were smart they'd sidle up to Honda with some sushi and a big bunch of flowers and say, "hey, if this McLaren bromance doesn't pan out, I'm sure we could come to an agreement where you could throw whatever you want into the back of our car for $120m a year and we super pinky swear not to bad mouth you to the media." The irony of this would be delicious.

Human Grand Prix posted:That's what I mean. It isn't coming from inside the company. They need a third party to help. I agree, if they had these issues but it was blindingly fast and they were on it I think everyone would be far less frustrated. But its clear that they need somebody to go and at least get them going down the right path.
