guessing honda has put in the mk2 unit. mclaren has started the day cautiously , i guess they would be running the same set of tests (they ran on mk1 unit) to find out whether "rogue unit" product is better or not.

Finally the Ferrari is out on track!!
The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Whats the problem with this statement? They are ambitious and they are trying new things in order to beat Mercedes in 2017. Its not easy but it can be done.
