Honda has bought a new MGU-H for both drivers this weekend, hence they'll both likely start last. Other "new parts" available to test as well. It's happening!!!!

He had his home race boost which apparently amounts to a points finish and not crashing.

Now he's back on foreign territory and Baku itself will carry him to the gates of Valhalla-- shiny and chrome.

Reading that is depressing because the way Ericcson talks about it and the way Wehrlein does pretty much confirms that she left because of the pay driver situation.

Wehrlein's "no comment" and "Monisha called me personally about it" to Ericcsson's "I didn't even get a call from her" lol

The cruelty in looking this up is how he's blown up in most races with less than 5 laps to go, just to twist the knife.

AMuS says the Honda upgrades are expected to be between 12 to 30hp and Honda is using Friday to confirm whether they're even worth running :negative:

Also apparently Stroll had a 43kph advantage when he overtook Alonso in Canada.

What did you do that for?

Nico's social media is full of images like this. Who takes them? Does he have a photographer around him at all times? There's some weird Instagram branding/lifestyle thing going on and it creates this weird artificial vibe like your life is essentially one continuous volume of Hello magazine.

This is a totally reasonable and acceptable upgrade for the MGU-H, tbh. What's not acceptable, as you mentioned earlier, is that they haven't even touched the ICE. That update was originally planned for Monaco, and we're still waiting.

That's a bad comparison because Williams typically run some of the lowest downforce/highest top speed setups. Earlier in the season Alonso reckoned he needed another 50bhp, so 12-30 is a pretty good step (admittedly the other engines will have improved since)
