Ronbo sold his McLaren shares to the Bahrainis for £275m, there's nothing stopping Ojjeh from dumping Honda now.

The Japanese journo who called the Sauber Honda deal last year says McLaren could run the Mercedes PU in a b-spec car at the Hungary test.

McLaren are finished.

How many wins will sauber have next year with Honda's anger powering them?

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.

It's going to be fun pointing this out when people start using it to make some kind of point.

I'm hoping Williams see sense and gobble up The Beast before the scum at Red Bull do.

William will do fuck all. Nor will Bed Bull for that matter. Only a complete brain-dead tosser of a Team Principle, or a team broke as fuck will even bother thinking about approaching Honda for an engine.

Honda deserve no sympathy for their complete lack of willingness to learn lessons, refusal to conform to normal standards, or even common sense to figure out to go get outside help for a project that, frankly, has been a waste of time money and talent for the last three years running.

I’m pretty sure that the commentators said that there is a hill climb event later today at Goodwood. You can livestream the whole goodwood event on YouTube

Absolutely loving Goodwood. Makes me wonder why it isn't included more often in video games. I know that Gran Turismo 5 or 6 had a feature on it.

Good wood is a great day out if you can go. Also a great place to have eardrums sploded when an F1 car does that 5m from you. Lol.

V6 biturbo, standard KERS, many standard parts and the abandonment of all-wheel drive are going to be the basis of the next Formula One Power Unit coming in 2020, a year earlier than planned.

...

The 1.6 V6 engine remains in place with the efficiency driven pre-chamber combustion technologies developed over the last year or two. Twin turbos will be added on with a single KERS unit driving the rear wheels only. Previously, a thought to power the front wheels with electrical motors in a similar vein to the WEC LMP1 category was mooted, this has now been deemed as heavy and cumbersome.

...

A major concern is the Formula 1's new owner is to reduce the complexity and cost . Independent engine manufacturers such as Ilmor, Cosworth or AER should also be able to build the new Power Unit at a reasonable development cost. For this, the largest cost drivers will be standardised – the battery, the electric motor and the turbocharger will all be outsourced and specced.

...

The Concorde Agreement allows a change of engine regulations until 2021. Liberty Media, however, is determined to advanced the date by one year. The four engine manufacturers of the Formula 1 are also keen to have the new package early in 2020 as they save a year's worth of extra development costs for the current engines. It is their belief that 2020 would also be a feasible date for new entrants such as new car manufacturers or even independents like Cosworth to get involved.

...

Aerodynamics and chassis are also set to be simplified. Before the summer break, representatives of the FIA, Ross Brawn and the teams will assemble to discuss the rules for 2019. Brawn is pushing for this early decision so they won't end up making last minute bad decisions, something F1 fans are all too familiar with in the past.

Bernie getting ousted is just the best thing that has happened to this sport. Just looking at this news makes me feel so good about the sport. The closer F1 moves to spec engines, the better.

For one, it decreases the dependency on engine manufacturers entering the sport. It decreases the power of works teams by having all engine performance equalized. It emphasises the performance of the teams themselves, the aero work they do and the ability of the drivers.

And most of all, it should allow for more teams to be able to build race winning cars, even customer teams like Force India, Williams and the like.

Also, it might actually save Honda and Renault from not being complete dogshit PR nightmares, so they should be pleased.

Bring on 2020.
