I am a little surprised that they don't introduce everything all at once. Unless they do it this way as a measure of the chassis upgrades without more power?

I guess that would provide a definitive answer on what the chassis and aero upgrade is worth, and, cynically, show the real extent of the engine deficit.

Honda was quoted about needing to get enough test cycles in. Bringing the new ICE to the Netherlands allows the ICE to run an extra 3-4 weeks on the test beds, this is what Honda were after. Add to that Hungry isn't a power track, the extra power doesn't really help you, made it a win win scenario.

Every track is a power track for Aston Martin. With the humongous power deficit they have the upgrade will likely be a substantial one and help everywhere, even in Monaco.

Lots of breaking opportunities in Hungry. So end up with alot of short bursts then break again, so you can recharge. Plus alot of the short bursts are from low speed, so you just can't go full throttle right away.

Indeed the power deficit from energy harvesting will be lower , so engine will be "better" here compare to the best than at Monza

I am interested in seeing the new aero package. Do we think Newey will come with an upside down rear wing? Any innvoations that no other teams have done yet, or just taking ideas from the best cars so far? Will be exciting to see.

I have read "new gearbox" too (Autosport) and Honda said a "better performance" for this race. So, perhaps this motor can give more power than we have seen until now?

There was a quote a long way back that they wouldn't be able to go full power on this ICE till they put in the new motor mounts. The mount that connect the motor to the chassis and the gearbox case. I have no idea if they're going with the new mounts here.
