Who is MY?
It's a pretty strange way of legislation indeed.
I think this is due to the fact that the directive may contain information that may reveal some secrets about the motor, which the manufacturer would not want to be made public.
The irony is that most outside of F1, they release the why's in the technical directive and in some cases, display the part for everyone to see "don't do this".
Reliability update ? Who knows.However, it has now emerged via FIA documentation that the energy store is of a different specification. A Honda spokesperson declined to give any further information, beyond noting that the reasons behind the change were "nothing special."
It would be interesting, a further insight into the technical workings of the sport. If the teams all see the directives then I can’t see any reason not to make them public.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 3:59 pmThe irony is that most outside of F1, they release the why's in the technical directive and in some cases, display the part for everyone to see "don't do this".
For selfish reasons, I would love to know what they were doing.

There's still a flywheel energy storage company at Silverstone, although I don't know what they are doing at the moment.

Williams tried it already in 2010, but opted for battery ES anyway. The flywheel battery was used by Audi’s LMP1 winner eventually.
Now that we know Honda introduced a faster charging/discharging ES since Spa, can we expect better performance especially in the race? I would think so. Max followed Bottas quite well in Monza sprintrace while being slower in qualy. Faster thus more charging at every braking zone is most helpful in the race. RB didn't seem to have clipping at the end of the Q lap this season so I don't think it would make a big difference in Q.bigblue wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 10:07 amhttps://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/perez-and-latifi-set-for-f1-dutch-gp-pitlane-starts/6660948/
Perez started the Dutch GP from the pitlane.

Are there any clues to how much the new type ES has improved lap time in the race? Must be a few tenths because RB went from behind on pace in Hungary to sightly ahead in Zandvoortbigblue wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 11:04 amI like the "nothing special", given that they've now said it's been a years long effort, giving performance and weight gains etc.https://honda.racing/f1/post/new-energy-store-f1
