The major F1 engine upgrade Honda kept secret

[@josephnus]

I don't really care if Honda-powered Red Bull win the championship this season or not. But this Chapter of Honda F1 programme has been one of the most amazing story in the sport. From being a laughingstock to compete directly with the King of V6 Turbo Hybrid. While also starting the development later than other manufacturers. I think Honda can leave this sport with their heads up knowing that they have done such an incredible job, and putting Renault (and Ferrari) to shame.

[@ericlambart536]

Merc was previously Braun GP which was previously Honda, which makes it even more poetic if they do beat Merc

[@stevel9627]

Definitely agree. The fact that no other manufacturers joined aside from Honda is proof how much of a risk it is as having any amount of lead time in development is a huge advantage in comparison to a new manufacturer as was shown when Honda was way behind at the time. Imagine if it was Renault who was the new kid on the block back then, they would of quit the sport within a few years.

[@djoetma]

The annoying thing is this story is that everyone seems to forget McLaren had a HUGE part in this as well. From not willing to adjust the chassis for the engine, not willing to budge on size-zero at first to manipulating the numbers by driving with extra downforce in free practice and thus blocking Honda in their development process.

IIRC Honda's battery was one of its most criticized problems in its McLaren days because it would run out of juice and start harvesting before the end of the straight, killing the car's top speed exactly when the driver needed it the most to defend (or, on very rare occasions, attack).

I would be more interested in knowing the physical size of the battery? Is it regulated or only the weight? Using 'super capacitors' as part of 'battery' the charge can be almost instantaneous with a drain to slowly charge main battery which will increase it's lifespan. As carbon nanotube technology is progressing, 'super caps' can be more easily factored into the equation. 'Super caps' have been used for many years in city buses so there is a precedent (and probably why Tesla purchased the largest US super cap manufacturer in 2019) If Honda is supplying power units to red Bull, they are only partly removed so developments are not wasted.

There are still some gains, given the fact that you can store and use freely generated energy.

Or how much waste refineries produce. Or how much fuel leaks away at gas stations annually. How many mining chemicals for one Deepwater Horizon disaster? For the burning Kuwaiti oil fields during the war there? How much pollution and how many lives lost in military conflicts where oil was at least partially a factor? I'm not saying chemical waste isn't a serious issue. I'm saying nothing comes even close to the pollution of everything related to oil / fuels. Except coal perhaps.

WAIT?!!! IS THIS WHY THE 'HYBRID' UNDER THE HONDA LOGO ON THE CAR HAS CHANGED TO 'E TECHNOLOGY'

What's the race's take on rapid switching of the mgu-h to bypass 4/2MJ limits for extra harvest and extra deploy?

[@F1pidis]

I didn't get just one thing, if someone can clarify this for me. So did Verstappen get the new battery and control electronics all the way back in Belgium or just now in Russia, hence the reason why they changed so many of his engine components? Cause if the latter is the case, then that would explain why he climbed all the way up to 7th in a track that doesn't suit their car and also be a huge sign of intend for the coming races.

I love how tactical and secretive red bull are, maybe Merc knew maybe they didn't. But I bet red bull kept Merc guessing what they had done

[@jamtalawah2231]

Yes Hamilton mentioned that something had changed with Red Bull, and people said he was just making waves. Well now we know!!!

@@jamtalawah2231 What Crymilton was implying was it was something illegal. But he got smacked back.

Sad they are leaving, love Honda.

You guys did a story about this before the summer break I thought?

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Batteries will always give 100% capacity. It’s just that capacity falls over time and the hammering of an F1 car does it very quickly.

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

You said the exact same thing the video did, just from the opposite perspective.

[@upnorthyooper1196]

That explains a lot about what is going on.
