Honda found a bug in the McLaren CPU?

Problem is they didn't do anything, I think they didn't even bother to send an engineer check the track surface while deciding the tires they would bring to the race.
They did nothing to ensure their tires were adapted to the task.

( why do i bother :rolleyes: )

Of course, they can have a butchers at the tarmac and immediately guess what forces, G and attrition rates a F1 car will inflict on a tyre at 170 mph. :laugh:

Next you will suggest than instead of building wind tunnels, aero engineers should just fart over a sheet of paper and extrapolate up :laugh:

But, as you say, they couldn't be bothered. If you were in charge of Michelin, you would have had someone lick the circuit, design a F1 tyre on the back of a fag pack and be home by Tea.

Perhaps they should just hire a genius like you?

Did you ever hear about engineers?
Should I explain you how they go about their work?
Would like to know how many possibilities of predicting tire degradation and mechanical response they have? They can start with computer design and calculations and finishing with a testing bench.

Thanks for demonstrating your intellectual level to all of us.
Next time when I need advice about farting over a sheet of paper I know I can rely on your expert opinion, however it obviously would be useless to share any engineering ideas with you, as I doubt you even know how to use a nail and hammer.

This from someone that believes Michelin can design a F1 tyre by taking a look at a track lol

You're talking rubbish and you know it. Michelin know a little more than you about designing tyres (shock, horror!!) and even they got it hopelessly wrong.

I'm sure that they are chastising themselves that instead of spending millions of $$$ developing, building and testing tyres for F1 teams, they should just send an engineer to a track to have a look at it.

So, either you know more about building tyres than Michelin or you're talking bollox again (yes, that was the word you used the other day :) )

I think that was an example of me using a hammer to hit a nail accurately on the head :laugh:

Well, back to the thread title.

Ferrari suffered engine problems probably brought on by the excessive heat and nothing to do with the ECU. :)

Keep your personal comments to yourselves and discuss the matter in and, which sure as hell is'n Michelin.

There was a quote in the last day or 2 where Ron(I think) , defended Domenicalli and Ferrari , and said something about there being millimetres between the top teams .
I know , a little sketchy , but it was something like that .

Anyway , could that be a reference to McLaren mounting it in some way the others haven't tried -i.e.-spacing it up 2 or 3 mm from the mounting surface ?

hmmmmmmm, let me see, I'm sure there are very likely still wheel speed sensors, numerous brake sensors, an electronically operated transmission, ..... thinking out loud.......a pit speed limiter button....... I'm sure there is at least one accelerometer in the car somewhere......... :look: still just thinking out loud...... :s tareup: most early tc utilized brakes, not engine retardation......... pushing multiple buttons....... driver "inadvertently" hitting pit speed limiter coming off of corner...... :uhoh: rumours of ghosts........ hmmmmmmmm. :rolleyes: ;)

Ferrari certainly have their hands full. Multiple engine failures in P1 alone. Ouch. They better get to learning the ins and outs of the ECU fast, if that's really the problem.

Ferrari have already said that the failures they have had are not to do with the ECU ;)
