My understand is that part of the engine upgrades from Honda is new engine mounts, the permanent vibration fix, that might require slight chassis mods. That might make new parts incompatible with the current config. That is my guess.

I would assume that too. If it is going to be a B-spec car, let it truly be a B-spec car so that they have some idea on development for 2027.

the reason aston need spec b is because his aggressive approach with honda pu layout has backfired so do his suspension layout

People are calling it a "B-spec" but we don't know if it is a true B-spec. Newey said they just decided to take their time cause the current chassis was rushed for Australia and release all the updates as one. To be honest, I don't even know how heavily modified the front or rear suspension needs to be to qualify as a b-spec.

i think a true b-spec means a different chassis. if they have to change to mate better to hondas PU thats one thing, but whether the car will start with a different development path is debatable. i dont think we have enough info to know whether the suspension is needing to be changed. the PU, mguk induced engine braking problems and gearbox clouds everything really. its like trying to solve a rubics cube with your eyes closed from where were sitting.

They are miles away on power from Audi and Ferrari. Because of the deployment rules in Monaco the ICE deficit is exposed even more clearly. The telemetry is unlike anything I’ve seen on this track, 50+ HP to the nearest rival no doubt.

Considering the gearbox issues Alonso and team members have been talking about all weekend, it should be no surprise they'd be running conservative in the FP sessions. Not to mention their PU parts pool concerns. Constant issues with gear sync, overall lack of grip, and running very marginal on cooling would also help explain these differences.

It's a real difference and we appreciate you sharing the telemetry, but the context is important as always.

thats great, so the team has fooled all the judges into thinking the power unit is bad enough to recieve the highest ADUO level (and actually create a new higher level of assistance just for them) just by turning the engine down. i never realized how clueless the FIA were.


in a completely unrelated story, my 3 month old honda hornet sp motorcycle is being recalled to replace the motor that burns 2 liters of oil every 500 miles under regular usage. theres irony in there somewhere

So FIA estimates the ICE alone is 36 to 48hp down on Red Bull. And then you have MGU-K, harvesting, battery, chassis, gearbox issues.

I think it is true figures and remained is mgu-k power.
