EddieB Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 In other news, a secret trial of a new US street circuit was a near "catastrophic" failure, after an unnamed driver spent over two hours making laps of the possible route in Manhattan. Drivers of cars following said they were intending to overtake, but lack of DRS zones prevented their doing so, causing distress to the occupants of the lead car. 1 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tyre changes, lots of strategy and varying fuel loads. Ferrari by far the quickest car but didn't romp away with it. Best F1 race I've watched in the last couple of years.

Andrew P Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 ALSO, All the abuse Alonso gave Honda whilst at McLaren, but they say he can stay at AM.

Their collaboration with Red Bull was a clever trick to continue development. Honda had a building in Milton Keynes, right next to the WCML just south of the station. I am not sure if it was a factory, storage or something else. It is now branded Red Bull Powertrains. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely engine costs will have to be included in the cost cap, otherwise Mercedes and the others would all have a separate engine "manufacturer" to get round it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when Honda did on their own time when unconstrained by any contracts with the FIA is up to them. If the engine passes "qualification" and if the engine is *used* by a team then from that point it comes under the caps and scrutiny. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
