You are correct Doc..Merck is old Brawn and Brawn was old Honda.

Yeah the team maybe but not the engine development team they were mostly and still are from Japan where the new engine is coming from
Agreed that the Engine in being developed in Japan, but remember there are two other important items in this year formula that makes up the F1 Power unit, a big part of this is the integration of these unit via Software. Yes, Merk seems to have this dialled in perfectly.
On the other hand Mclrean seems to have this sorted and working well on their P1, that is the torque fill aspect of of the turbo..so I why is that the F1 car is such a dog this year? Is it the chassis, aero or both?
Anyway, we'll see next year how this will all come together.....I'm thinking that Honda have had 12-18 months of development on this power unit, and it will be a force to deal with in 2015.

Mate i hope so, just saw an interview of Button as he was finishing a marathon he stated that the updates on the car were significant as to why he got fourth but they were still chasing more downforce and he said they were getting more aero updates for Hockenheim. So with a Honda engine Mclaren electronics and finally a car at least heading in the right direction who knows, i still think it's a tall ask for next year to come out firing on all 6 but i hope I'm wrong.
I also think think McLaren-Honda will still be 3-4 best car on the grid next year, unless McLaren gets their act together and Honda brings a great package. I'm hoping the best for Honda-McLaren.
Proces of being best on grid is term of few years(3,4 maybe5)you need .
Looks like FRIC is off everyone's drive this weekend. Is the TEIN Flex/Mono system act like a FRIC, but with user interaction?
its all about frac....
lol I had forgotten about the fric suspension ..and no the tein system is just a little servo motor that can turn the rebound screw on the shock...nothing like the fric.

Poor Hamilton... if he didn't have bad luck, he wouldn't have any at all. :upset:
Yeah, 100% true....what a drive form last on the Grid to 3rd place

Grat race with lot of overtaking,poor Kimi almost lost front spoiler.
F1 is more interesting last few races .

Sandro, you are correct, F1 have been much more exciting this year than in the pas 10-12 years. The cars do sound like crap...however, the Boys are fighting throughout the entire grid for points and positions....just great.
With Merk now having some reliability issues to deal with, that should spice things up between Lewis and Nico. The second half of the season should be some exciting racing up and down the Grid.

So do today's results mean that the Rosberg/Hamilton duo cannot be as dominant this season as Senna/Prost was?
Well they are still dominate. It's just that Lewis crashed.
Maybe it will come down to the last race like Senna/Prost or Hunt/Lauda or Kimi/Hamilton (I know there are other years when it was close). I'm getting used to the sound. Lewis drive from 20th to 3rd was sure a show.
Clearly Ricardo is the boy to watch in the future -- what a drive against a two-time World Champion!
Go Lewis!
Go Lewis!
Alonso and Ricardo's set to was the best part of the race. Hamilton put on quite a show too.
I can see Ricardo being WC one day...he is already better than Vettle in the same car in the first year...however, it's Luigi for 2014 WC.

+1! I enjoyed this race thoroughly. Great racing all around.
It was funny because Nico had the best team (and best luck) but in many ways Hammy and Danny were the best drivers of this race!
This Merc cars are still 1/2 sec. faster than Williams and nearly 1 sec than RB and F cars.Williams is doing great job if only Ferrari can do some magic, to have more cars battle for podium.
Is it too early to start the Official 2015 F1 Thread?
My only hope is Ferrari can win 1 race to keep the streak alive. I'm not even sure 3rd in the constructors championship is achievable.

I'm not so sure,but as we said last year maybe 2014 will be Ferraris year, we can say 2015 will be better at least James Allison is working on new car.
As much as this is Mercedes' year, you have to give Williams lots of credit for coming from just 4 points last year to rivaling Ferrari and Red Bull for second place. McLaren on the other hand, what a disappointment, even with the Mercedes engine. I'm not a pessimist, but I don't know how Honda can dig them out of this hole next year.
can't get any worse. oh wait, yes it can. it always can be worse. Honda has experience with hybrids longer than Mercedes, so in that regards, I'm confident they can deliver.
