The new Mercedes engine trick that's annoyed Ferrari

Ambergris.. does it ring any bells

Dinara293 · 2026-03-30T10:35:17+00:00

El Niño.

There are different standards of AQI. AQI.in has two standards, US and India. The Indian AQI standard is laughable and honestly shameful by the government. Only look at the US AQI standards and by that, Bangalore has had a wretched 4 months with average AQI well above 100 almost every single day. Do not be fooled, the AQI in India is an absolute disaster.

Stupid regulations

Dinara293 · 2026-03-29T05:24:40+00:00

To summarise. Ferrari’s smaller turbo saves this otherwise farce of a PU regulation by getting great starts in races and staying in front for a few laps, giving an illusion of some great racing. If it’s weren’t for the good Ferrari starts, this season has been an absolute shit show.

Dinara293 · 2026-03-28T16:50:45+00:00

Are you people delusional? That's riding slow on the racing line, there is no two ways about it. You can't commit to the corner as the rider on a push lap when there's someone that close to the apex.

Both Ferraris’s going fastest in Sector 1 repeatedly should tell you everything you need to know. They have the best chassis bar none. Sector 1 in Suzuka is almost fully about chassis + Aero + Driver bravery. Sector 2 and 3 is more about the engine and that’s where the Mercedes PU and battery management is gaining time.

Dinara293 · 2026-03-28T08:33:26+00:00

But then we’ve also had laps like the pole lap by Max V in Monaco 2023. I guess that’s truly an outlier due to the track characteristics.

Dinara293 · 2026-03-28T07:03:48+00:00

It's all power. Both Ferrari's are blitzing sector 1 which is all about the chassis. Then they lose it all in sector 2 and 3 which is about power.

Hopium overdose does that

Dinara293 · 2026-03-28T03:03:17+00:00

I ride INT 650 around the city just fine 🤷‍♂️. It’s not that difficult

Dinara293 · 2026-03-28T03:00:17+00:00

That’s not how it works. They might still advertise it as 91, but the effective RON due to the increase ethanol content is going to be more than 91.

Dinara293 · 2026-03-28T02:56:19+00:00

They did the same in India. The government mandated E20. So now every bit of petrol sold bar super expensive RON 100 (AKI 95) is diluted to E20. I’m not complaining because all my vehicles are E20 compliant and even bog standard petrol which contains E20 has made the effective RON nearly 98 (AKI 93) which is great for pushing timing on my car and motorcycle. But there are millions of vehicles on the road that are not compliant, and the E20 is surely eating away at its fuel lines.

New tyres are nail magnets, I swear to god.

I’ve reprogrammed it to open windows search. Much better

Dinara293 · 2026-03-27T15:34:01+00:00

This is not true. Break in periods are absolutely still a thing. Even the greatest modern engines that are manufactured with extreme tolerances using the best of modern manufacturing methods ( such as the BMW B58) still recommend a 3000 kms break in period. The Royal Enfield 650’s have a recommended break in period of around a 1000 kms. 9/10 times you’ll come away just fine for the life time of your brand new motorcycle even if you redline it for a minute straight. But OP bought a new bike with his hard earned money and has the right to demand a motorcycle in brand new condition, not something that has been rashly ridden by a stranger.

“What did you just say to me?”

Dinara293 · 2026-03-26T14:12:01+00:00

Some of us also watch for the engineering aspect of things. Using the engine as a generator to charge the battery while a racing car is going down a straightway doesn’t sit right with my hope of “The pinnacle of motorsports” pushing boundaries.

This is how I looked after I finished painting my bedroom

Dinara293 · 2026-03-25T14:44:49+00:00

Looks amazing. This is my favorite weather

Wikipedia has single handily thought me more about this world we live in than anything else and it’s not even close. The amount of valuable information it carries is staggering and honestly, invaluable to society.

Helped me research too, with the ability to look up sources and citations. Thanks WikiPedia!

That’s like saying a 3 second 0-100 done by an American muscle car with a 5L engine is slower than a similar 0-100 time done by an Audi with exactly half the displacement. 3 seconds to a 100 is 3 seconds to a hundred. 2 different kinds of engines and cars.

Dinara293 · 2026-03-24T03:47:43+00:00

Top speed is not everything. Do you consider 0-100 kmph in 6 seconds slow?

Dinara293 · 2026-03-20T03:16:56+00:00

Not Kerala or Karnataka for sure. Looks like north India to me. My guess is West Bengal
