Red Bull RB15

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

The car started smoking today after the finish. The Alfa Romeo guys (yes, not a mistake) started cooling it. So maybe the engine was run too hard?

Probably normal. These guys are always swarming the car with fans when they stop. The AR guys are just being courteous and helping out until the RB guys get there.
I know, but a car startimg to smoke is not normal right?
The car will smoke if not cooled even after running just a few laps. F1 cars don't run fans and depend on the car moving to cool it.

If they don't cool it you can damage the engine and especially the turbo with what is called heat soak. The smoke we saw was probably some oil burning off from the turbo perhaps.

Red Bull 'underestimated' Honda F1 engine progress with their chassis design

Yet the Honda engine been constantly blamed on this forum for lack of results on races prior to Austria some even suggested they should leave f1.i think most people are too quick to judge even though they is no data to look at unlike on the chassis side, emotion seems to rule

Exactly. They've proved to be one of the most reliable engines this year and consistently producing good power with probably the most impressive development curve on the field. They deserve the absolute respect of the field this year. Absolutely stellar job so far. Cannot wait to see what the rest of the season and next year brings!

Just as Wazari stated in the beggining of 2019 season after Australian GP. Thanks @Wazari.

Maybe consider this scenario; RB15 was initially designed anticipated kW from 619 of 618 kW + X kW increase. Actual kW of Spec 1 619 ended up with 618 kW + Y kW. Let's say Y is 130% of X. Maybe that might require some changes to optimize chassis for the actual new kW figures?

I think that to an extent fans of a certain driver thought that his lack of results during his tenure with a particular team are salty because of Honda's success this year/last year. Those people probably really wanted RB to experience the same struggles as a particular team.

I for one am very glad to see both McL and RB succeed.

Redbull underestimating Honda I think is just Bs on their part they just don't want to acknowledge that they are not particularly good when they are new regulations. Last year when Honda brought spec3 Horner was raving on about how much big progress was being made Marko when on to tell the team to prepare for a championship onslaught next year no excuse because the engine was up there. Preseason Marko target 5 wins for Max & championship.they may get their 5 victories but trophie may a bridges too far unless Ferrari starts taking points away from Mercedes.

Once Red Bull fixed their rear end instability issue with their Austria update, Marko has proven to be correct. The RB15 is a very competitive car. :)

Sure, but that's ok. At least the team is in the mix.

If 618kW is in Self Sustain, ICE + MGU+H, this would a little less than 50% efficiency. This would give around 660kW in Self Sustain Plus, 900Hp. State of the art, Mercedes, Ferrari, is probably 685kW, 930hp.

If Y gets Honda to this level the difference between X and Y would be less than 10kW. I wonder how big a change in aero design would be needed to cope with this?

I actually read what Wazari was saying referencing the engine code, not actual power figures... The RA618H is the 2018 Honda engine and the RA619H is this years one. 618kW too specific/coincidental. Maybe he could clarify for us, but pretty sure I'm right on this.

As in the sentence should look like this:

That makes sense.

It’s amusing that the numbers read as kW are very close to where teams are. I saw an opportunity to extrapolate from a known to an unknown.
