Share this: Honda’s plans to supply power units to a second Formula One team in 2018 have fallen through. Sauber F1 Team has terminated its deal with Honda, which was set to begin after the conclusion of the 2017 season, it announced Thursday. “It is very unfortunate that we have to discontinue the planned collaboration with Honda at this stage,” Sauber team principal Frederic Vasseur said in a statement. “However, this decision has been made for strategic reasons, and with the best intent for the future of the Sauber F1 Team in mind.” The team has been rumored to be considering ending its relationship with Honda for roughly a month.

Ford Mustang GT Gets More Muscle To Match Aggressive Styling Tweaks
Share this: If you want a fast Ford Mustang, but can’t shell out more than $50,000 for the Shelby GT350, you’re in luck. The entire next-generation Mustang range looks set to be the best-looking and most capable yet. Ford revealed Monday that it has squeezed more performance from both the Mustang GT’s V-8 and Mustang EcoBoost’s in-line-four ahead of the 2018 model year, dropping their zero to 60 mph times to below four and five seconds, respectively.

The GT will have 25 horsepower and 20 foot-pounds of torque more than the current model, giving it an output of
Honda’s F1 Engineers Were Laughably Overconfident Going Into 2017 Season
Share this: Honda has a reputation for reliable engines in its road cars, so some might have assumed it would be able to make significant gains before the 2017 Formula One World Championship began. Its engineers apparently also thought so, though the improvements they expected to see were too large. Honda F1 technical chief Yusuke Hasegawa revealed Wednesday he and his team thought — with the engine token system scrapped — its power unites could start the season with as much horsepower as Mercedes’ had at the end of 2016, according to Motorsport.com. That mountain simply was too high to climb, however. For perspective, during qualifying for the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the fastest McLaren-Honda was more than 2 seconds per lap slower than the

Boston Bruins’ Power Play Struggling To Capitalize On Opportunities

The B’s have scored on just three of 38 opportunities with the man advantage, giving them the league’s second-worst success rate at 7.9 percent.
