There is no such thing as 5 place penalty. The actual penalty is: ''You get the F to the back of the grid''.
there are 5 place grid pen. but only if you change parts of an car or engine
This will be Ricciardo's fifth new ICE of 2019, and Hulkenberg's sixth, both exceeding their allocation of three for the season. They will take five-place grid drops each.
I took a lot of flak from Honda zealots when i criticised the design for being rigid and not able to interchange components. Any other manufacturer can simply replace one of the four defective PU component but for Honda they have always opted a new turbo and MGUH with new ICE even if they have pool of components. Hopefully this will be addressed next year with modular components that can be replaced without needing wholesale refit.
That would probably be because you used it as a tool to flame, not as a viable technical observation. I believe you were served with the same reason I will repeat now. This was from Yusuke Hasegawa who was in charge back then..
The turbo and MGU-H unlike other components are directly linked, while a turbo upgrade may not always require an MGU-H change (See Canada 2016), they chose to always change them both as any issue with either would have a direct physical effect on the other. As we know, 2017 especially, Honda's major weakness was the MGU-H which had a habit of popping quite often, it physically seized which obviously then caused lasting damage to the turbo, stupid to run one new unit without the other. The -H was new tech, a turbo never seizes in this day and age so you rarely saw the reverse happening, also note an MGU-H failure with other manufacturers usually led to turbo swaps as well. A consequence of not nailing the design of -H. Ironically, when McLaren severed the relationship, Honda introduced it's own full in-house design in Bahrain 2018. Interesting to observe the significant reliability jump that was the achilles heel came from doing things their own way.
