If the package was not very competitive in France, so Verstappen won the following race in the heat of Austria, without the accident with Sebastian Vettel in Silverstone probably went on the podium, won in Germany and looked in Hungary for a long time as the winner.

The fact that you could make such a jump was, according to Honda, not only because you had learned something from the power unit. “I can understand why Max compares France and Austria,” says Honda Formula One Manager Masashi Yamamoto to Motorsport-Total.com.

“We learned a lot from Canada and France – especially as far as the heat is concerned, “he says. “And we've taken countermeasures before Austria – and it worked well – I understand why Max says we've learned to push the engine under certain conditions.”

The new Spec 3 from Honda has a new turbocharger of the same Jet Engine Expertise benefits as the MGU-H from last year. Both parts are important for good reliability even under high performance levels.

“If we're just slow, we can still drive, but poor reliability is a big problem because we do not drive then can, “says Tanabe. “So we always have to do the balancing act between performance and reliability, but in my view, you need a certain amount of reliability before you can go into performance.”
