One of the great topics of conversation paddock of Formula 1 on his landing in the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix will be the famous ADUO. It is not yet official, but everything indicates that Mercedes will receive, with controversy, benefits and that those of Slingsomewhat advanced by BBCwill be less than that extra planned plan. Whatever the final resolution, the Japanese have many pending tasks. His goal is the summer with a complete package that is already marked, as he explained Adrian Neweyin Hungary.

Before there will come a Montmelo who examines the teams. Winter data already exists, which makes the work more in-depth. “The performance is not as we want, but we want to do the maximum. Here there are high, medium and low speed corners. Having a complete power unit is key, especially in the medium to low speed zone,” explained its chief on-track engineer. Shintaro Orihara.
“It will be interesting to see the use of the accelerator in those medium and high speed corners, with some lifting and others at full throttle, which will impact energy management,” he added. Something that challenges an engine Sling with problems from combustion and also focused on energy and recharging of the electrical part. Things won’t change until improvements arrive.

The tasks
The tasks Later they will be more complex. They aim to develop a competitive power unit, something they have not been able to do. “It’s a long term development process and we have started the initial part with CFD and single-cylinder work. We will have to test the V6 and its reliability, but it may take several weeks,” Orihara explained during the last Grand Prize.
Fernando Alonso negotiates one of the curves.
The goal will be to have that evolution. “Maybe it will arrive in summer, although we don’t know which summer: English or Japanese,” he joked. Without specifying whether it is a new power unit or an evolution. “There are areas in which we improve current technology. Mainly, we must improve combustion. There are no miracles and we need to find many small things step by step,” he concluded. The ADUO can be the first step, although they will also take it Mercedes, Ferrari or Audi. As long as it is respected that the reference falls on RBPT–ford. Soon the FIA must announce what the matter is.
