2016 McLaren F1 Team - Honda

[Sayeman]

Commentators are saying that the Renault is running out of electric energy faster than Honda on the long straight, maybe the new TC update is working.

who are the commentators?

Karun Chandhok i think

[Sonador]

I am realy impressed with one lap pace of the McHonda, given they have chassis and PU "issues".
But racepace i think is comprimised by fuelsaving.

If Honda can fix its thirsty engine, racepace should be much much better.

Impressed, especially by Honda.

Karun Chandhok i think

I like him, the only unbiased guy in that whole SKY team i think.
He was the only one saying that the Mclaren was running high downforce in Montreal hence the lower top speed while the rest of the commentators were bashing Honda and raving about the Mclaren chassis.

Ill say it again the Honda PU is pretty even with Renault and Ferrari 15.

Does repeating help in convincing yourself ?

Just a thought, if the compressor is reletive small, so the big turbo (the hot side) keeps running the MGU-H which feeds the MGU-K. A small compressor then would be an advantage with such a long straight and the max fuel flow.

yeah, not that simple...you can go over to the PU thread and read all about it. Here's the link http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... bd#p642703 and you probably want to start at page 1.

I think he / they are with BBC.

In South Africa we get BBC commentary - 5 alive or something like that.

I agree that they are better than SKY !! =D> =D>

speed trap

alonso 348 km/h button 346

best: bottas 351 ....mercedes 345 and 347

all others 340 <

Source ?

[techman]

good speed by both mclaren, i think a good points result on the card, if mclaren can improve the aero efficiency, mclaren can score good points

[mclaren111]

Engine not efficient over race distance

Top 10 unlikely

[Sayeman]

Button 339km/h in his fastest lap without tow while Rosberg 342km/h

[Sayeman]

Perez out, Mclaren may have gained one place in Qualy

Ill say it again the Honda PU is pretty even with Renault and Ferrari 15.

Then how come they aren't beating Redbull and Toro-Rosso? Everyone knows Mclaren has the best chassis on the grid.

Source? Source is speedtrap! You either believe it or not! You may as well question if You read numbers in right order.
What the point?!
