I think Honda will plow money in to making the Moto GP better so that others can actually ride the thing fast. Marc Marquez get's injured and that bike is NOWHERE.
It is nowhere because MM is not riding it. When he's back it will be a different story.I think Honda will plow money in to making the Moto GP better so that others can actually ride the thing fast. Marc Marquez get's injured and that bike is NOWHERE.
And you've been wrong for a decade. This would not be F1 .I been saying for decade they need 1 engine
But one manufacturer can't build them, even if they do not compete could still be perceived conflict of interests supplying certain teams with best engines on dyno
Must be a joint effort from a number of manufactures to build best engine ever
Teams would get engines by drawing numbers nothing fairer then that
teams build chassis
Give them more choice of tyres
Then have 2 days racing 3 races at 50% distance triple points 3 chances to get it right it wrong
So 50% more racing, faster cars with 1/2 the fuel load what is 50KG worth a lap ?
Level playing field then we really see what car design and drivers are best
amen
You're not alone,The day it goes full EV is the day I quit watching it, and I have watched since the 70's.
You're far from the only person saying that. I'm not saying this is the case with you personally but, in my opinion, if the racing is good, if the engineering competition is compelling...many people saying "I won't watch" won't follow through. I would go as far as saying, if/when the day of EV F1 comes, the number of new fans attracted to the sport will outnumber the number of fans lost.The day it goes full EV is the day I quit watching it, and I have watched since the 70's.

I love the sound of an ICE. I love the engineering, I even love the smell! But I think you have to take a step back and not focus on what we are losing but rather what we are gaining. With ICEs, we are long past the point where we are only seeing incremental improvements in the tech (this goes for road cars and racing). With EVs, the door is open to another golden age of motoring/racing. Cars going farther/faster by significant leaps, batteries charging faster and holding more charge, etc.
It takes a mind shift, but I think it could be a lot of fun and, I think, most enthusiasts won't want to be on the outside looking in.
The technology has a future that is why they have V6 turbo's. As much as we want to hear a V8 or bigger that would have no relevance to the road market. Technology filters into road cars otherwise it would not be of use to road car companies to get into F1.You have missed half of the point. Honda's message is F1 involves too much development costs for a technology that has no future.
It was my belief Honda engines where made in Japan. But there are many places in England and Europe that could build it closer to home. You could re badge the engine but then no development.Red Bull could buy the Honda F1 department, from memory, the Honda engines are made in the UK, so maybe its possible they could take it over?
Oh yeah, I don't think it's imminent by any means. Just saying I think the % of people who say "that'll be it for me" is much higher than the % that actually tunes out.I think going full EV would be a hard sell for fans, especially since electric vehicles are only about 3% of world wide vehicle sales right now, and most estimates say it will only be around 18% by 2030. I know its a cool technology, but I don't see ICE leaving motorsports for at least 20 years. There is already a formula E championship, so I see no need for F1 to go all electric anytime in the near future.
Next to that, current Formula E's are as slow as a F4 car.I think going full EV would be a hard sell for fans, especially since electric vehicles are only about 3% of world wide vehicle sales right now, and most estimates say it will only be around 18% by 2030.

Honda
so you think he can’t beat Ham, and Max is the same levell to Bottas where do you find this wishdom?
if you can find the statitics at the age of bought at 23j old, you will think again.
And you've been wrong for a decade. This would not be F1 .
Drop your cristalbal, then you will see things clearly.Wow man, your reading comprehension is freaking backwards
He had exactly the opposite point - why change Bottas for Verstappen if right now they have easy 1-2 and after the change they still would have 1-2, but Max would challenge Hamilton much more than Bottas. That could lead to crashes while fighting each other and risking the 1-2.
