Q: Hi Ryo, nice to meet you here. Could you tell us the latest development of Honda?
RM: Hi. Currently we are no near top. We are developing still, but it's no easy. We have good (progress), about half (50%) and we continue to fight. We have good onwards from the engine, but right now we are still too far.
Q: Alright, what's the problem with the engine these few races?
RM: We cannot run full like others. Our engineers good work in Japan and we have manage to reach getting 70% full power in supeingo (Spain), and we will try to extract more from power engine. The way our engine designed mean's it's all new and we cannot examples from the rest, we have to experiment ourselves. The position of various key components are unique and some are not ideal, but some good. We did alot of research before coming up with this design, I admit some have not worked but we change them soon use tokens and they will good.
Q: Could you see Mclaren-Honda winning a race this season?
RM: No, difficult next season too. You know new team hard to win race, compare to the rest who work long together. We will try to win a race next year, but no guarantees in motor. Our target is to be near 3rd team (Williams) at the end of this season. It would be a good (achievement) if we do it.
Q: We have heard a lot of things about the Mclaren chassis and the size zero rear end. Care to share more about it?
RM: Eh... small size good for aero, and we package our power (engine) to match it. There is more to (extract) it, but currently if you notice we have not make big steps in aero. There is a big change coming up (b-spec), on target for England (Silverstone). It will be launched with our new engine.
Resumiendo:
- Tienen un diseño de PU innovador y algunas partes les han salido bien pero otras no y necesitarán hacer uso de los tokens para corregirlas
- Han usado un 70% de la potencia en España. No sé si se refiere a potencia de PU en conjunto o de ERS
- Ve difícil ganar este año y el siguiente. Objetivo para este año es acabar cerca del tercer equipo (Williams)
- Se prepara una spec B del coche (aero) para Silverstone junto con nuevo motor.
Solo queda esperar que se esté pasando de conservador con eso de que no van a ganar el año que viene
Esperemos
Buen aporte.
Gracias.
