article on silverstone upgrade that came out just few hours ago, i'm posting this quickly now, might post again for summary with corrected/optimised nuance and added info if there are any

all dotted parts and underlined quotation mark parts (" ") are Nakamura quote
we improved intake system and increased combustion efficiency (by using 2 tokens)
Up till now, there were some areas in inlet system where airflow was not so good. Therefore we modified its layout in order to be able to send more air into the combustion chamber. Of course power has increased.
Nakamura did not tell us about how many ps/hp has been gained (seems press asked for horse power figure but Nakamura refused to give number, rightly so), but explained that the increase in output is "to the extent that drivers can actually feel". Besides, this time's upgrade is "merely the first step of the significant upgrade".
We have 10 tokens remaining, so for the next phase, we'd like to modify combustion chamber/system itself to achieve further output increase. in order for that, we are assessing and selecting which solution/path/combination is the most effective/efficient possible by conducting variety of dyno testings/evaluations/comparisons at the very moment.
It would be ideal if we can introduce all of the upgrades at once at next update, but there is possibility that some will slip through / not make it in time / etc. So, most likely it will be 3 phased upgrade including this time's upgrade.
in some reports, Hasegawa's quote of "if the upgrade goes well, half a second / lap gain can be expected" has been introduced/written. But Nakamura says "that must be some sort of misunderstanding".
For example if it's Monza and Spa, those tracks are highly power sensitive so 0.5sec/lap gain might not be impossible. But it's absolutely impossible at tracks like Hungary. How many ps we have to gain in order for that, i wonder. If such thing is possible, we would be able to dominate (laughs).
Exxon Mobil is developing special fuel accommodated for the upgrade, and if things go well, the new fuel is expected to be introduced at Spa (info in the article*)
* might be too obvious already for long time but just remind again: "info in the article" refers to any info that is NOT of official quote (as in the manner of " " (in japanese it's 「 」), according to xxx, ____ , or xxx explains/says ____, etc) , but what can be considered detailed and decent enough that's at least worth mentioning/referring and being passed on.

gracias Ethernet!
si los tokens que usaron son para mejorar la entrada de aire (dice que el flujo de aire no era tan bueno y que pueden enviar más aire a la cámara de combustión, dando más potencia), pienso yo que eso significaría tambien una reducción de consumo de combustible, no?
