at this point I would just run the engine with a water leak instead of wasting time, but water and "ERS" probably won't end well if enough water leaks.

You have to start wondering how close Ron Dennis was to Honda and if some people possibly feel aggrieved.

It is understood that the engine being used was a new test specification that had been shipped from Honda's Sakura facility in Japan.
The replacement unit will also be of this type.
Turvey will go out again and will pull a flyer and it will race in the Russian gp :mrgreen:
so far what was said in the Japanese site was right =D>

Well at least there's lights at the track so they can run later today and make up for lost time, then there's always tomorrow.

The engine he was using was the new one but the problem was an water leak from the ERS... They have problems everywhere. Must be some kind of a vírus.
Or a terminal disease. #-o

No news from McLaren...

Good news for McLaren fans, the team has just fired up the MCL32 again. The engine has been changed. Oliver Turvey is not yet in the car though.

Well the engine was fired up earlier, but no signs of track testing.
