Honda's F1 chief Yasuhisa Arai insisted he is not worried. "The positive is that we know that basically everything works as it should," he told Speed Week. "The energy recovery works. What did not work is the electronics. "But I maintain that the engine itself is good," the Japanese added. "These power units are incredibly complex," Yasuhisa Arai continued. "We need to find out in detail what went wrong, but that is the job of the engineer -- to solve problems."
Officially, the next time the Honda engine will be run on track is next February at the Jerez test, mere weeks before the performance specification is 'frozen' for the 2015 season by the governing FIA. But Speed Week said it is possible the interim car will be run before the official winter test season, during another 'filming day'. Yasuhisa Arai continued: "We believe we have done our homework and the hardware is healthy. Four months until Australia will be enough to be fit for the season. "We strive to have a good place on the grid in Melbourne."
