By this time all teams have already started (and are almost finishing) the design work on their cars. They usually start anywhere between March and August
IMO, I don't see Honda in the spotlight more than any of the other big teams. Perhaps Honda is getting more publicity rather then seeking it this year due to there recent success. In addition, some of there innovations that they have brought forth this year have been in the spot light for being prohibited.Monstrobolaxa wrote:It's more that Honda has been doing a whole lot of publicity...and the others don't really care! Everyone knows that the others have been developing their engines/cars for the following season! If they weren't doing it...then it would be a suprise! It's more or less like getting wet when you're walking in the rain.....the strange thing would be if (with out any kind of protection) you didn't get wet!
No, i haven't said that Honda isn't working on 05 engine, i've said that differently from BMW and Ferrari the japanese team is pushing extremely hard on the current engine, while Bmw and Ferrari have interrupted the work on this year engines. So it's obvious that, given the championship conditions before Suzuka, Honda is able to achieve now the same power that Ferrari had already at Monza.Anonymous wrote:Indeed, I’m simply highlighting that Honda is also concentrating on its 2005 project, as others have highlighted that Fiat/BMW have started there’s…Monstrobolaxa wrote:Humm...you're only mentioning the dyno fase of the engine....cause engine development/design starts around 18 monthes before the engine races for the first time! and dyno testing somewhere between 6 to 8 months....so BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes have probably been testing their engines since the same time Honda started.

[/quote]My intention was not to imply that Honda was working harder than others, I simply was trying to highlight that the are also working on there 2005 engine.Monstrobolaxa wrote:No you didn't say it....but to me your post sounded like all the other teams/manufacturers weren't working hard on next years car/engines....it sounded like only BAR was doing it......the thing is that all of them are...but BAR and Honda have been doing a whole lot of publicity about it....as if we all didn't know it was happening.

So are basing “a whole lot of publicity” around one interview?i]"It's more that Honda has been doing a whole lot of publicity...and the others don't really care!"[/i]
That was an attempt at humour right ? Because I thought that Dr Theissen showing to every human being in the Monza’s paddock the telemetry plot to demonstrate that “the P82 touched 19050 rpm several times during the qualifying lap” was a good definition of “brag about it”...Monstrobolaxa wrote: In 2002 when BMW passed 19000rpms you didn't see them brag about it....
Am I the only one feeling that there’s something a tiny bit odd in that sentence ?In addition they are now testing a gear box that does not lose any revs on up shifts
