A lot of speculation, guessing and misinformed information being passed on as fact. FYI, you are totally incorrect. Honda are not using a McLaren supplied MGU-H in 2018. The MGU-H in the 2018 Honda/Toro Rosso is a 100% Honda Racing built unit. Not supplied by McLaren, or any other "third part supplier". The 2018 Honda MGU-H is somewhat of a copy of the 2017 Honda/McLaren unit, but is 100% designed and built in-house by Honda Racing in Japan. Again, it has nothing to do with McLaren, or McLaren Applied Technologies. |

Does the following sound like speculation?
Quote:
Doesn't sound like speculation, more like someone who is very confident while trying to point out that Honda are not to blame for their recent MGU-H failure and in fact it was the "third party supplier" (McLaren) to blame. Which is 100% incorrect on both fronts as Honda ARE using a in-house built MGU-H unit and not a McLaren supplied unit this year. Simple matter is Honda are a shamble. 5 years into the new V6 era and they are still a nowhere. They are an absolute disgrace. I was hoping by year 5 we would have the Honda fan girls jumping up and down pointing fingers at the naysayers saying... I told you so, Honda are back, I knew they would, etc. etc. But nooo, looks like we will have to wait another year for the fan girls to get excited and point fingers at us Honda naysayers. In the meantime, the fan girls seem to be finding excuses and pointing the blame at others while they wait for Honda to (hopefully) get their act together sometime in the near future. |

I only treat things as fact when reported “as fact” by multiple news sources, or when commented upon by Honda itself (Which you will find they actually do quite a bit. Maybe more than other F1 power unit manufacturers. Some of the better info comes from the Japanese F1 press). Otherwise I clearly list things as speculation (including the direct quotes above you say I claim as fact!) if they are coming from other sources that can’t yet be confirmed, but are educated speculation by those who have a record of being accurate in the past. I stand by my earlier comments, but frankly don’t want to speculate more than I already have without more evidence. I freely admit it might all be wrong! But I am waiting for reliable sources to confirm one way or another. Richard |

I think that is a fair criticism of me. I should have found a way in that follow up post to not be so enthusiastic as to potential accuracy of my own speculation. Regardless... I asked to look at my previous post. Which clearly says it is speculation.

there is always a lot of different information out there and you do extremely well (imo probably better than anyone else on this forum) to parse that information and present your thoughts, inferences, opinions, speculation in a clear and logical manner that, i think, fosters the friendly type of discourse that this forum has been sadly lacking as of late. you keep posting man and i for one will keep reading! |

I will continue to try to keep it positive. I have high standards for my own posting style and occasionally struggle to meet them! One thing I am confident about is that we are ALL passionate about the sport even if we may not agree.

Gasly in the top ten, could we be in for a points finish for him this weekend?

Firstly, how can a copy of a MAT design also be 100% Honda designed? Secondly, if the 2018 design is a copy of the MAT design, how have Honda got around the associated IP rights of a MAT design? Thirdly, the indication that Honda are using components from MAT comes from a Honda Press Release in Jan 2018 that said: 'Until last year, Honda was relying on McLaren technically quite a bit. We were receiving components supplies in Europe through McLaren. Battery pack (ES) was McLaren's, and it was supposed that we were going to do the battery by ourselves sometime later. There are complications in law regarding battery about air transportation and customs. That's why battery pack had to be done at Milton Keynes. So we have to expand internal production otherwise we cannot continue. We must sort these out urgently.' - are you able to confirm that Honda have expanded this internal production? |

The high standards you hold are a pleasure to contribute alongside. You clearly take time to evaluate both your own posts, and also the content of others you post in relation to. It is also clear that you are able to accept in good spirit a post that may be critical, or of a differing view to yours, without the need to resort to immature and petty posting. A healthy argument can be good if made in the right spirit and accepting of others viewpoints - and it is good to see a nice balance between factual content and personal opinion. I hope to continue many discussions with you in future.... |

First, I don’t think we know the balance of what Honda designed vs MAT in the entire ERS system let alone just the MGU-H. My initial post left the door open for it being MAT designed/sourced... or not. And.. I also wonder if part of the Honda McLaren divorce, if that included making arrangements for IP licenses on specific technologies. Such as, let’s say the 2017 MGU-H was sourced from MAT and now Honda owns, or has a license for, the 2018 version based upon the 2017 design. Honda could develop it in any direction I would assume?

I would say honda has outlerformed McLaren so far this weekend. That's just speculation on my part though.
Don't change a thing Richard! |
