That is bad news. I assume it is with the old ERS system, so in Spa PU4 with penalty's!

Yeah, I could understand the PU as unable to change that, but the ERS system is a bit of a shocker, unless they are testing a new one and its 99.9% ready to go.
Yes, homologation deadline is last possible date. For all we know it was ready and brought as spares for this race.chrisc90 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:35 amYeah, I could understand the PU as unable to change that, but the ERS system is a bit of a shocker, unless they are testing a new one and its 99.9% ready to go.
Cant you test them before the deadline and they become hologamated?
It could have been penalty free though if they didnt swap ERS over this race. Now next race they will incur a penalty (or one after) when they bring their new ERS.

Does anyone know exactly what components make up the ERS?
Today we've took: PU, Turbo, MGU-H, MGU-K.
I seriously hope this is the new ERS system they are using. Which would gather good data for the team to work on over the break incase need any finer details before its sealed.
Ah, they have ran newer spec components from other races?Alexf1 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:50 amERS deadline of sep 1st is for ES, MGU-K and CEchrisc90 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:43 amIt could have been penalty free though if they didnt swap ERS over this race.

So only MGU-K would need to be the new spec in this switch. Since Silverstone new spec is allowed under parc fermee
Don't know. Don't think so. You would want to make as much use of the available development time, but as soon as it's ready you would want to bring it along as spare.chrisc90 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:56 amAh, they have ran newer spec components from other races?Alexf1 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:50 amERS deadline of sep 1st is for ES, MGU-K and CEchrisc90 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:43 am

Maybe because of this:Gillian wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 12:09 pmNot sure why you guys are stressing about an engine penalty. If last year proved anything it is PU penalties are worth it if (1) you have a large gap to the middle pack, (2) lack pace compared to your direct competitor and/or (3) fresher (upgraded) PU means a substantial improvement in pace. Even with a grid penalty Verstappen is likely to reach a podium. Even without a grid penalty P3 could be best result with the current package.
Both RB cars took new ICE – TURBO – K and H, and both cars took that new lot penalty free. Gasli starts from pit-plane. The hybrid ancillaries which are permitted to performance upgraded are ES – CE and K.Alexf1 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 12:03 pmDon't know. Don't think so.
