Comparation between Honda PU and Ferrari PU in this corner. Honda PU sounds so bad #-o https://twitter.com/CoandaF1/status/702071970406465536

Strange, People at the Track say the Honda sounds the best. Guess it's just personal Taste. ;)

In this clip you can see how the others drivers took the curve from the best side.

I'm not good at this, but did Vettel go much better through this corner than Nico? I mean in this particular one closer to the corner is better?

Not necessarily, with a wider race line you could relatively carry more speed and therefor better exit speed.
However would not read to much into the different lines the drivers opt . They are not pushing the car to its limits at the moment.

I recall during the V10 and V8 era, Honda PU has always been the loudest and distinctive. So much so that if you cover your eyes, you will be able to tell a Honda powered car has just past you.
