15 hp? How then did Verstappen lose 0.9 seconds at Monza?
In the corners and straights, .5 in the corners .4 on the straights. Watch the Abu Dhabi pole comparison you see Bottas was always faster on the straights. It was worse in Austria, Verstappen had a much better exit out of the second hairpin and he still lost time down the straight
It was difficult to lose from where Gasly found himself after the red flag. Still, Carlos was able to catch up with him on older tires. So, that theory about 15 hp. clearly does not correspond to reality, especially since in this topic there have been statements more than once that Renault is significantly inferior to Honda. The gap is clearly larger.
Yes it will go in but I just don't think it will be repeatable and get that flow rate that and get the optimal jet size you want.
Who said that. Frankly the Renault and Honda have been closely matched in power output for a few years now._cerber1 wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020, 12:17It was difficult to lose from where Gasly found himself after the red flag.

Mazda skyactiveX engine works almost same principle without prechamber. They inject richer fuel towards spark plug just before desired combustion time. I think for a solid (I don't know if this word is right for this) jet, injection into prechamber must made very close to combustion time. Otherwise you can not be sure what will be there.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020, 14:58Yes it will go in but I just don't think it will be repeatable and get that flow rate that and get the optimal jet size you want.
It would be like a damper. Forcing fluid through fix or six tiny holes about 1.5 mm in diameter. I imagine most of it would just deflect somewhere else in the free open space instead of going into those holes.
But at least we are sure that a single injector and stratified injection with pre-chamber is used.
AT choosed high df to be faster at turns and McLaren could only catch at straights but they never closed gap enough to overtake. they have tow of Gasly Drs and winner is Gasly. Honda has clipping issue but again Renault can not give a victory to his costumer. I think there is nothing to discuss there. But of course this forum is for that purpose.Sieper wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020, 12:24And why are we only looking at Monza? This was an outlier in performance for RBR Honda. They struggled with qualy already. At the start Max had power issues (seemed very similar to what happened in Mugello). And at the restart again. There clearly was an issue for RBR Honda that weekend.
Also, this was one of the weekends pretty short after the new 1 power mode setting for the whole weekend, and was something that both Honda and Mercedes asked to postpone (originally planned for Spa).
I do remember Honda finally fixed the issue after by replacing the wiring harness.Sieper wrote: ↑29 Dec 2020, 12:24And why are we only looking at Monza?
