Toro rosso won't pass McLaren imo.

>>59658

Looks like it. That old ferrari engine has crippled them badly.

>>59659

They weren't even trying.

>>59660

>Looks like it. That old ferrari engine has crippled them badly.

For sure. Did they really expect that the 2016 renault would develop worse than teh 2015 ferrari? Was a poor call imo.

Also heard news regarding Honda's 2017 PU, apparently it will be a Mercedes style split turbo with the compressor wheel at the front of the engine with the two parts connected with clutchpacks ect.

Malaysia also got resurfaced recently too, hopefully that should add some unpredictability to the race.

http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2016/09/27/in-detail-how-sepang-has-changed-for-2016/

>>59662

wow, that is a big shift for Honda. Another completely new architecture. Don't think it is the wisest move given that they could have made big gains while being competitive with a Ferrari/Renault layout. Another pretty big admission that their "size zero" pursuit was quite folly to begin with.

>wet standing starts

>substantially same calendar

>pirelli chooses tires for first 5 races

>“Drivers must continue to present their helmets in substantially the same livery at every event of the FIA Formula One World Championship for easy recognition of the driver in the car, however a driver will now be allowed one event (such as a home race) for a special livery (at the driver’s choice). Drivers will also be allowed to change their helmet liveries if changing teams during the season.”

>no more collecting of stacks of spare power unit parts over one weekend

usual suspect rumor of bottass to renault

>>59678

Apparently every driver next season is going to Renault. I think they should keep both of their current drivers to aid development of next years car.

>>59679

they should hire back alonso since he has so much practice talking about the future and making slow but steady progress

>>59680

He has already wasted 2 years at McLaren, why not another in the hopes of getting a WDC car for 2017?

Renault won't win for a few years imo, just like last time when they brought Benetton. They could speed it up if the rumors of Renault hiring back James Allison are true.

>>59683

Did you catch the segment they did around Singapore? They had Patrick Tambay on. Took a while to recognize him. Didn't know he was still around.

Nice tits though on the girl.

>>59687

yeah i didn't know he was alive but hadn't really thought about it

like carlos reutemann

alonso gets new honda spec and 30 place grid penisty

>>59691

>>59691

Interesting that only 1 car has elected to be upgraded. If anyone wants to know what the upgrade entails, it is the new combustion technology that all the teams except for Honda currently have. It should greatly increase the fuel efficiency of the engine.

http://www.mobil1thegrid.com/article/step-step-mclaren-hondas-progress-2016/

>Nevertheless, there have been races this season where the McLaren-Honda still appears to lack far more than a few tenths of horsepower. This is where Honda are about to catch up. In a race, the Honda engine currently uses too much fuel relative to its rivals, who have applied highly advanced lean burn combustion solutions, which allows the limited fuel to produce maximum horsepower throughout the race.

>With a conventional combustion set up, the Honda cannot match this from good engineering alone, so a step change is required in the combustion design. For Ferrari and Mercedes, this is a process known as pre-chamber ignition, whereby a small chamber is formed inside the cylinder head between the spark plug and the main combustion chamber. This gets filled with a rich fuel mixture. The main combustion chamber gets filled with only a very weak fuel air mix, which would be hard to ignite with a conventional spark plug. When the spark plug ignites the fuel in the pre-chamber, the resulting flame vents through small holes into the main combustion chamber, which then burns the weak fuel mix easily. This creates a long power stroke, despite the largely weak fuel mix.

>Such technology requires a very different cylinder head architecture, along with special fuel injectors, spark plugs and – critically – special fuel, to be able to react to the unusual combustion process.

>Honda have earmarked development tokens to be spent in Malaysia to allow a big upgrade to the engine. With the turbo, MGU and inlet system all now optimal, it’s expected that a lean burn technology will be the result of this development. This will ultimately bring Honda closer into line with its rivals, allowing them to push the engine for maximum power throughout the race, rather than having to curb its performance to manage the fuel available. This could be the key that unlocks the McLaren-Honda’s potential.

>Williams changed manufacturer after seatbelt issue

>we already took some actions to make sure it doesn’t happen again, like changing manufacturer or changing some other things before this weekend.

RIP Willians

now Sabelt will be the only one left

>>59692

the news i have say:

>Honda says the new power unit features a 'lighter engine block and a re-designed exhaust, which boosts efficiency'. However, though the changes are designed to help performance, they are not 'targeted at outright performance'.

and

>One token has been spent for an update on the engine block, with the aim of improving reliability and durability while adding performance due to a reduction in weight.

>The second token has been used to upgrade the exhaust.

Yeah, apparently they ditched the combustion upgrade.

RUTH

Good pace from ALO, is he on the softs and the Ferraris mediums?

>>59734

looks like both softs

>>59735

Ferrari think they can win the race, maybe if they jump the mercs at the start.

>>59736

maybe if max crashes into both of them

HUL going off the track, the drivers are probably struggling with all the changes to the track

Have HAAS actually updated their car all year?

>mercs 1 second ahead of everyone else

>"FERRARI ARE CLOSE GUIZE"

>>59741

updated but not improved

>>59743

It will be interesting to see how their 2017 car pans out, it would be representative of their performance.

>>59744

otzi steiner has already been making noises about building a baseline car for the start of the year

that is a pretty big spread over the field

Rosberg is just leading Lewis into a false sense of security

>>59797

Ferrari changed their car radically from the previous year and with new regs next year, they can't really develop this car hard. RB should be ahead of Ferrari on chassis and Aero tracks based on history and continuity but Ferrari have done a good job of closing that gap. It used to be bigger before.

>>59804

They also completely fucked their tire strategy. The should spend 90% of the next off-season developing their tire strategy.

somebody finally forked off livestreamer to a new project since the cuck that had it stopped upbating like a year ago
