Naujienos, gandai...

Pagaliau Civic'o varilio atsikratyta. :)

Kad gandai sako, kad 100mln/metus niekada nebuvo Red Bull reikalavimas

Sainzas i Renault jau Malaizijoje (kazkaip makes no sense)

Helmutas nuo pat pradziu spaude salygas = McLaren.
Panasu, kad biski teko nusileisti. Tik neaisku kiek. Japonai norejo nusileisti iki 0, bet vargu ar Helmutas sutiktu.

Ir pagal toki scenariju su Sainzu, panasu, kad Wehrleinas praskrenda out.

* Perez has nowhere to go, so stays put.
* With lack of superlicence for Matsushita Gasly has to be in prime seat of getting that #2 STR seat. Kvyat will be kept for experience.
* Massa will be kept on for experience as a 25-y-o. A pretty remote chance that Kubica could replace him...
* Leclerc is all-but-confirmed, driving FP's late this year already. Meanwhile Ericsson owns the team.

Teisingas summary:

Worst: Toro Rosso-Honda are in P18 instead of P12 with Toro Rosso-Renault. Oh well, so what? What does it matter?
Best: Red Bull Racing obtain works Honda engine with Honda sponsorship, that is better than the customer Renault engine.

Pasiteisinimai incoming

Reports say Renault want Sainz for the last 5 races, from Sepang, but this is still ongoing talks.

So if not Alonso or Massa, who? Robert Kubica. We understand he has been released from the short-term contract he has been on with Renault since beginning his comeback programme in May – at his request, in order that he might follow up on interest elsewhere for his services (understood to be Williams and Sauber). His performance in the Hungaroring test in the current Renault, whilst good, still left question marks about his fitness level, evident in an inconsistency during the long runs. His ultimate speed, on the other hand, was considered highly impressive. His fastest lap was set with ‘P2 levels of fuel’ – ie around 25-30kg (compared to around 6kg for qualifying) – which suggests his time was actually on a par with that set in qualifying by Nico Hülkenberg, albeit on ultra-soft tyres reckoned 0.3sec faster than the super-softs used for the GP meeting.

Does Fernando Alonso now agree to re-sign with McLaren? It would be a surprise if he did otherwise, but a solid proposal is on the ta*** for him from Williams. Either way, he will probably be taking a pay cut. Would Williams-Mercedes be more attractive to him than McLaren-Renault?

Alonso, speciau (bet ta pati sako ir Sawardas), net nesvarsto Williams varianto.

Kubica i Sauber? Panasu, kad gali prireikti Sauberiam keturiu bolidu kaip minimum

Alonso paliko Ferrari tam, kad turėtų bent teorinę galimybę kovoti dėl titulo, su McLaren ją turėjo, tik Honda žiauriai sufailino, su Williams tokių galimybių net teoriškai nebūtų.

Alonso nesvarsto Williams, tikrai true. Bet Williams jam siule pakeisti Massa, apie tai ir kalbama.
Be to, jei nebutu Renault varikliu sanso McLarenams, manau Williams offeris butu svarstomas rimciau.

Sources close to the deal have confirmed to Motorsport.com that McLaren has agreed a three-year deal with Renault, taking it to the end of the current F1 engine regulations cycle in 2020.

While he has been released as part of the negotiations to get Toro Rosso out of what was a firm 2018 power unit contract, the Spaniard remains part of the Red Bull camp. He has been loaned to Renault for 2018 – and thus the Enstone team and Red Bull Racing are keeping their options open for the longer term.

Mercedes' Formula 1 engine has hit a landmark achievement on the dyno at its Brixworth factory after breaking the 50 percent thermal efficiency barrier for the first time.

The 50 percent efficiency of the Mercedes F1 engine makes it one of the best internal combustions in the world too.

ir power gain nuo 2014: "In other words, it now produces more power than waste energy - a remarka*** milestone for any hybrid, and especially a flat-out racing engine. Compared to 2014, the power output is 109 horsepower greater using the same amount of fuel."

2014m buvo ~900, dabar ~1000. Panasiai ir manyta.

manau, kad gain'as is tikruju didesnis, nes dasideda kuro gerinimas, mappingas

max galia yra max galia, matuojama ant stendo, isreiskiama KW. Visi kiti derinimai jau del pacio rezultato trasoje ir vaziavimo efektyvumo

Ups: Red Bull may be forced into a switch to Honda engines for 2019, with current partner Renault working to end its supply deal at the end of next year.

Taigi, panasu, kad po Toro Rosso perejimo prie Honda, Renault nutraukia (is isskaiciavimo ir su FOM isikisimu sudaryta) sutarti su Red Bull nuo 2019 - iseina, kad Red Bull liks vienintelis variantas - Honda, kad ir kokio lygio ji butu.

Klepsidra, Red Bull manau greičiau parduos komandą, nei kiš šimtus milijonų, kad kovotų dėl 9 vietos.

Klepsidra, Life > Apie ką puse lūpų ir kalbama, kad RBR ketina trauktis iš sporto po Konkordo pabaigos. Anksčiau jiems nelabai išeis dėl milžiniškų baudų. O dėl Honda, gal RBR susišnekės geriau, nei McLaren, bet kadangi abidvi britiškos komandos, kaži ar kultūriniai skirtumai nebus per dideli vistiek.
RBR savo pasiekė iš principo formulėj, manau, kad liks kaip rėmėjai, bet konstruktorium nebebus. O rėmėjais likt jiems kaip ir naudinga būtų, nes Mercedes Monster remia (gal ir dar ką daugiau, tik nepastebėjau).
Panašu, kad Konkordo pabaigoj ir naujų variklių taisyklių pradžioj gali būt daug pokyčių (RBR, Mercedes).

taip, bet 2019 nera Konkordo pabaiga tai Red Bull tures su kazkuo vaziuoti. Del Red Bull susikalbejimo su Honda tai kaip raso kai kurie komentatoriai - Honda neuzilgo supras, kad Alonso skundai buvo dar visai nieko (ypac kai kalbetis prades daktaras Helmutas).

Klepsidra > Tai važiuos su Honda. Ir jei bus sprendimas trauktis iš sporto visai, tai leis RBR junior akademijos nariams tuos porą metų pasivažinėt, o TR, tikriausiai iškiš Hondai. Nieko baisaus RBR, bet sportui tai tikrai nieko gero. Liberty biškį reikia to makiaveliško BE gebėjimo visus apvyniot aplink pirštą ir pririšt prie sporto.
Kita vertus, du - metai ilgas laiko tarpas, dar gali visko nutikt. Gali tiek Renault apsigalvot, tiek Mercedes ar Ferrari. Aišku, jei išlieka status quo komandose, tai tikėtina, kad teks būtų su Honda, bet čia niekada nežinai.

Del TR iskisimo - klausimas - anot gandu ir dabar Hondai buvo TR siuloma ir Hondos nesudomino - jie nori likti tik su motoru tiekimu.

Siek tiek skaiciuku:
"The current 2017 Renault engine is, according to McLaren, some 15 BHP down on the customer Mercedes engines and a whopping 35 BHP down on the works Mercedes. This is more than I had thought.
Next year, by simply fixing reliability, McLaren believe Renault can access another 20 BHP and therefore be within 15 BHP of Mercedes works effort."

Dar apie motorus:
"Specification 4.0 Honda is planned for USA or Mexico. Illien's work will begin to show. It will be the base engine development 2018 for TR."
"Without going into details, the roll-out of the "Spec 4" whether this season or next will not have the "teething" problems that this current PU had. It will have been more "seasoned" that any other PU even before it gets attached to the chassis. The chassis to PU relationship is the biggest unknown but typically not a big hurdle unless the layout and weight distribution deltas between the old/new PU's are significant.

I am confident that the next configuration PU will be a pleasant surprise. Also don't place too much credence to the HP deltas published by journalists. Some of the figures make me laugh out loud. As I said before, ERS management and fuel efficiency are the biggest hurdles now and the hurdles are getting much smaller."

Čia toks slidus reikalas. :) Niekas nežino, kaip patobulės Ferrari ir Mercedes. Net ta pati Honda (nu ok, žinom jau, ko galima tikėtis iš jos). Klausimas, kiek dar liko fantazijos ką tobulint keičiant lay out ir pan. Gali būt, kad niekas taip ir nesukurs nieko geresnio iki variklių formato pasikeitimo už Mercedes.

Is ispanu leidiniu bei uk forumu:
As the Confidential has learned, Honda engineers at the Sakura base wanted to do an experiment this summer by putting the Super GT engine - a 4-cylinder turbocharged 2,000-cc-line - on the test bench with fuel and lubricants of Formula 1 .The elements that are used in the queen category are much more exotic, providing a significant improvement in performance and cooling, adding power to the engine. The results were surprising. Under these conditions and without the presence of the hybrid system, the engine of the Super GT was more powerful than the one of Formula 1 . Incredi*** but true.
The engine of the Super GT originally delivered a little more than 600 hp without any restrictor - by normative finishes them often -, reaching the 650 with fuel and lubricant of Formula 1. In this way, it can be estimated that the power of the latter propeller is between 630 and 640 horses, to which should be added the entire hybrid system. A disaster, also taking into account the development cost of each of the engines and the level of technology they use. The situation is more dramatic if you consider that one of the main problems of Honda in the Japanese championship was the lack of power over their rivals.

Tai kad F1 variklio galia pagrinde yra apribota kuro srauto. nenuostabu, kad didesnės kubatūros variklis, be kuro srauto apribojimo išvysto didesnę galią. O tas pasakymas, kad įpylus F1 tepalų ir kuro į kitokį variklį jo galia stipriai išauga smirda šūdu. Nes F1 tepalus ir degalus kuria būtent F1 varikliui (uždegimo kamera, suspaudimo laipsnis, uždegimo sistema ir pan). O dabartiniai F1 varikliai stipriai skiriasi nuo savo giminaičių.

Jeigu jau is tikruju bande, tikriaus sugebejo itraukti kuro srautus ir pan i skaiciavimus. aisku, saltinis nepatikimiausias

Reigning Formula 1 Nico Rosberg has joined Robert Kubica's management team to help progress Kubica's return to racing in Formula 1 in 2018, Autosport has learned.

Oficialu - MCL ir HONDA baigs bendradarbiavima 2017 aisiais :)

ir dar.. And now Renault announce Carlos Sainz will join them in 2018

Visi kalba apie Porsche atėjimą, o Horneris numeta tokią "bombą":

Aston Martin confirmed? Įdomu.

Sources have revealed that Renault tried to sign Daniel Ricciardo off Red Bull amid the recent engine supply negotiations.

Tai kad Aston Martin net nezinau ka gali veikt su Red bull, nebent kaip remejas. Variklius jiems kurt bus tikrai perbrangu, tuo labiau visa komanda islaikyt.
