Si supiesemos Japones ya seria la hostia.......  

Lo ha traducido/resumido Muramasa del foro del MP4-31 de Autosport (en inglés, el que lo quiera traducir es que tiene más tiempo que yo  ):

NHK sattelite-1 aired vol.3 of Honda F1 documentary last Saturday (26 March)

http://www6.nhk.or.j...er.html?i=04691
 
some excerpts and summary
 
 

•  made turbine-MGU-H-compressor complex bigger
  
  
• overhaul/alteration to intake piping was needed and was challenge because bigger turbo-mgu-h complex in the V provides less space for inlet piping
  
  
• seems Sakura's dyno facility has 10 dyno beds at least (not sure if the building is just 1 floor or 2 floors)
  

 
Nakamura (chief engineer)

• sad/devastated about Alonso at Hungary Quali esp, it stuck in his mind and made him determined to overcome reliability and bounce back
  

 
Hasegwa

• being one team and respect is important of course, but what's essential is to make competitive power unit
  
  
• no matter how well you get along each other, it's pointless if you cant make comptitive/quality thing technologically
  
  
• if they dont believe that the team will be better by listening to Honda, it's meaningless
  
  
• In that sense, Honda must be the team that can be on equal terms / equally competitive/qualified
  

 
 
On the inlet issue in 1st session of Barcelona testing (the known problem Nakamura talked about on the 1st day of testing to Japanese media)

• vulnerability in variable inlet trumpet - friction between fixed pipe and moveable pipe, distortion in mechanical parts causing breakage
  

 
Exchange between barcelona and sakura on 1st day when JB stayed in garage most of the morning session
-- (trumpet got stuck)
engineer at sakura:  "Design team reckons it's ok, it wont break down"
-- run by disabling inlet valve
-- need to lock the valve
engineers at Barcelona to Sakura: "lock it by either hydraulic method or binding it by wire?"
engineers at Sakura:  "hydraulic lock is fine"

 
 
Melbourne race

• JB's PU had abnormally high water pressure before the start
  
  
• Engineer at Sakura: "exceeding 10,000"
  

• stabilized in the race
  
  
• engineer at Sakura: "water pressure in decline tendency for the last 10 laps or so. At this rate it can make another 100+laps"
  

Sobre el video:


Minuto 45:40, una de las virtudes del coche, estabilidad en frenada y manejo.




Minuto 45:47, ahora mismo lo peor del coche, peor incluso que la PU. Repasando los tiempos en la app oficial, en carrera nos destrozaban en el S3, y en esa parte del video se ve a Button deslizando brutalmente en la última curva por falta de agarre detrás. Ahí hay muchas décimas entre carga aero, agarre mecánico y degradación para recuperar. Y a bastante corto plazo se van a ir recuperando.
