(McLaren-Honda)
McLaren Chairman Ron Dennis has called on his team to be
patient when it comes to their expectations in relation to the performance of
the MP4-30.
Dennis believes that it will take two to three Grand Prix
before the Woking based outfit unlock the full potential of their new
partnership with Honda. The team endured a difficult start to their 2015
preparations at the opening winter test in Jerez last week but they will have
an upgrade power unit package for next weeks’ test in Barcelona.
In Jerez, over the course of the four day test the team
completed just 79 laps however they were expecting this and are hopeful that
the issues they suffered in Jerez will be resolved at the next test.
Despite the problems with the car both Jenson Button and
Fernando Alonso feel that the team are making progress. Dennis revealed that
the team have taken calculated risks with the development of the new car and
that they have seen an issue with the car they have spent time figuring out
what the issue was due in part to the fact that McLaren are trying brand new
technologies with their new car.
