I wonder if it is their work around for electrical fuel accumulation.

Tost does not win anything by lying. They are not looking for sponsors.
As Renault found out last year Tost is renowned for speaking his mind.

If he finds Honda wanting we'll find out about it soon enough.

Shakedown day tomorrow. Hoping the PU and gearbox have had a run on Honda's or Red Bull's chassis dyno prior, I just want this new partnership to start with some a trouble free running.

Sadly, Honda appears to be the weakest engine going to pre season. Renault appears to have found a big step in power and the other two were by Honda's admission not reachable.
I had some high hopes for Toro Rosso to maybe be fifth fastest. James Key is Newey in the making i feel and his chassis always delivers start of season until the field outdevelops them. No wonder Eric and Zak were waxing lyricals about 1second gain from engine alone.

I posted a Tanabe interview in the Honda forum.
It also corresponds to the TR Honda forum

Airbox much bigger than what McLaren had last year, I wonder if Honda requested this now that their partner doesn't ignore them.

Iirc, Wazari also mentioned something about them going aggressive with air intake and combustion?

Large airbox maybe due to the halo?

Yes, most likely. Many teams are adopting wider air intakes.
