In a more recent interview, Goss contradicts himself (but this version is the correct one IMO)Blackout wrote: ↑18 Jan 2018, 09:35Do you know how a 2017 MGUH looks? Tim Goss said something strange about the Renault; according to him the H hangs between the compressor and the turbine... but it's hard to believe because some pictures show that the space between the C and the T is quite tiny... so if this is true, the H should look like a disc or a camembert box whereas the 2014 H was a KERS-like long cylinder and did sit in the V... Is that possible?
And the rules suggest that the H units are much lignter than the K...

"Architecturally, the engines are very different," explained Goss. "There are two families of engines in Formula 1 at present: the Mercedes and Honda approach with the turbocharger split across the engine and then the Renault-Ferrari approach with the turbocharger at the back and the MGUH in the 'V' of the engine."

Sound different than last year. Seems that is no more turbo whistle sound as much.

Pre spin before exiting the garage. But it sounds good.

I don't notice a big difference, if any. Just wait till the FOM mics get rolling it'll be more of the same old stuff.

AFAIR it was "over 900 in 2017", "over 875" in 2016 etc (written in the technical specifications)

Renault has Castrol and Mobil1 developing fuel for them, and now Petrobras, 3 LPC's developing fuel and kinetics modeling instead of just Shell or Petronas for Ferrari and Mercedes respectively. Honda, who knows where they get their fuel stuff from.Blackout wrote: ↑20 Feb 2018, 19:23AFAIR it was "over 900 in 2017", "over 875" in 2016 etc (written in the technical specifications)
