Meanwhile, Honda reported that they did indeed expect that the fuel tank needed to be redesigned, following Alonso's stoppage on Monday. For Gary Anderson, former technical director at Jordan Grand Prix, this is a worrying sign: "It’s worrying to see Honda say that there are concerns about its oil tank based on what happened yesterday. To discover an oil tank shape is potentially incorrect suggests something is seriously wrong as normally it only shows up as a pickup problem in fast corners.
"To discover it on an installation lap at lower speeds suggests it’s a fundamental problem. The oil tank is vital to the engine and something most teams have a very good understanding of and very good test rigs to simulate all the forces and flows. So for McLaren and Honda to come to the first test session with a potential problem is a concern. It seems they are still missing out on the basics."
