Doesn't Honda have an informal internal ban on working on military technology?
Yes
I don't know, but I imagine the majority of them were internal transfers but also some outside hires.Singabule wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 03:10I guess we know why it takes so long for honda to integrate their broad knowledge from other honda division as involving many head, many entities, get approval, gentleman agreement, internal control, as well to ensure data not to leak everywhere. Wazari san, the 75 New staff of HRD coming from honda as well?
its quite interesting i hear that redbull could even possibly switch to honda mid season. if they find they cant compete and with the title this season. i am pretty sure they will be competitive but can they beat mercedes iam not sureToro Rosso's great start in testing has only confirmed for me that Red Bull will have Honda engines in 2019. I am so looking forward to the GP in a few weeks time to see how far along this Honda is compared to it's competitors. F1 people should remember to purchase spf50+ when they arrive at the airport in Melbourne and remember to pack shorts and shirts. It has been really warm down here this summer even when it has been wet.

i reckon its a good gamble, as they will sort out any reliability issues and get ready for 2019 title bidSwitching PUs mid-season. Is that a normal solution? Payout Renault, build a new rear end and be competitive for the rest of the season?
I think switching midseason is impossible, but how about creating B spec STR 13 so that RB mechanic could gather the data needed instead of creating RB14H for testing purpose. Sounds more logical, without need to breach renault contract.
That does sound more logical unless the b spec is a carbon copy of the RB14. Then it's most likely against the spirit of the rules?Singabule wrote:I think switching midseason is impossible, but how about creating B spec STR 13 so that RB mechanic could gather the data needed instead of creating RB14H for testing purpose.

Carbon copy and photo copy is not allowed, but give instruction to sketcher to draw another picture based in his masterpiece is allowed by regulation. Its different afterall because of specific engine need is differentJonoNic wrote: ↑04 Mar 2018, 12:32That does sound more logical unless the b spec is a carbon copy of the RB14.

Christian Horner and Matschitz are not that foolish. They will wait to decide by mid-season.
