Alonso says he can do no more than 25 consecutive laps before risking nerve damage, Stroll says 15 laps

So Honda's power unit is causing vibrations that both break the battery units, and massively hurt the driver's fingers and hands.

And that with Stroll's medical history of his wrists that surely won't thank him for holding onto the wheel.

Are those vibrations really coming from the PU or from the nearly untested everything else on the car?

Haven't read anything specific...

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Medland claims it's from the engine, not sure what his sources are for that

[โ€“] naeap@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Uff...
That would be really hard, because not much change during the season.
What can they even do about it?

Isn't the engine design pretty much locked in now?

History repeating itself just to fuck Alonso over must hurt

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I believe that under the new regulations they are free to change basically whatever they want about the engine at any point. As long as they dont use too many individual engines as per allocation.

But yeah, logistics wise this would be very hard to change in their design, manufacture and ship it in any kind of short-time future

Really?

I thought that's locked in now
Like Mercedes e.g. can't even be forced to change until mid season, if their engine isn't up to the now new regs - regarding the compression tests

But to be honest, I've no clue, so gonna trust you and thanks for the information about that

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

They've already decided the compression tests will change from June, so Merc will have to make sure tฤฅeir engine fits the regulations at that point
