Someone posted translation of this article already, mostly fine but there were some ambiguous as well as incorrect parts so I'm posting this anyway

(on stoppage in the pitlane on the way back to garage after completing 2 laps of the initial installation run) Fuel pressure drop or to be more precise running out of fuel. For testing a new car you conduct calibration on the minimum level of fuel and oil by actual on track running. Appears that the amount of fuel on board was on the absolute limit, bit too much. (info in the article)
After that it looked like SV was having smooth running by repeating short stints for system checks and so on, but on lap 29 he returned to the pit in emergence reporting loss of power. There was no sign of trouble in telemetry before happening. Decision of PU swap has been made right away, and in the investigation conducted in parallel with the exchange work, it has been identified that some of the 6 cylinders were dead. (info in the article)
Hasegawa who appeared for the evening joint interview looked apparently exhausted. He did not comment to the question asking if it was a problem they have encountered previously or not, but said "it's huge problem", insinuating it's serious issue incomparable to the oil tank malfunction on Monday. (info in the article)The stricken PU will be airlifted back to Sakura right away for identifying the cause. But there is no choice but to continue using the same spec PU as the troubled unit. (info in the article)
- We've run a lot on dyno, so it was an unexpected trouble. Very disappointing. We've got to identify the cause no matter what otherwise dire.
...
- After the exchange, there was no trouble in the afternoon session. In that sense we cannot exclude the possibility that it was just an odd trouble on this specific PU. Whatever it is, we have no choice but to continue to make it run as normal.
Un problema inesperado que nunca habían tenido antes en la dyno y que les dio una (me acaba de dar una náusea) pérdida de potencia.
Cada vez me voy haciendo más a la idea de lo que les ha pasado a estos mentecatos de Honda
