Already problems at McLaren?
Quote: Maybe not yet but it certainly sounds as if team boss Eric Boullier wasn't overly impressed with their morning's work.
“Not good enough," the Frenchman reported to Sky Sports News at lunchtime. "We didn’t have the best mileage, we have had couple of issues in the car.
“Definitely better but we already have suffered one year of pain so this is the minimum we expect.”
Or will things get better?
Quote: Ted has made his way from the pit lane with a story for all you McLaren fans about their partner Honda's progress:
"While most engine manufacturers are here with their bespoke 2016 engine, with which they intend to do the first few races, that's not the case for Honda.
"The power unit in the back of Button and Alonso's car at this test is effectively a mark I 2016 engine incorporating most of the changes Honda knew they needed to make over the winter.
"There will be another new engine, mark II, which will debut for the second test next week and the result of what they learn between the two specs of power unit will be combined into mark III, that they'll take to race in Melbourne.
"So if it doesn't look brilliant for McLaren early on, don't worry, better engine bits are on the way."
