They should have sorted the oil tank issue, not sure what happend with the fuel tank during testing (Alonso called it a amateur mistake) So that leaves the electrical and vibration side of things.
Oil Tank issues were "sorted" after Day one and i never heard of any Fuel Tank issue.

Alonso mentioned it:

And the oil tank issues were temporarlily "fixed" at the test, so i assume now that they have come up with a permanent fix.

Must be a Typo. The Amateur Problem quote was for the Oil Tank i'm pretty sure.

Gary Andesron said it, Scrabs said it, strangly enough on every single video from testing the car doesnt look twitchy in that corner 3 at all.

Honda statements are almost all about reliability and driveability, could it be that the chassis look worse when the engine mapping is lacking?

If you watch video's of the car in testing, the car apears to be driving on cold tires. #-o

Their chasis only fifth at best, combine with trial engine mapping only make worse. Remind me JB comment on 2015,the car is scary (undriverable)

I don't think you can properly judge a chassis just from seeing it on track sporting a PU that's down on power, with poor reliability and the mapping all over the place.

I'll wait until Honda has fixed the biggest mapping, reliability and performance woes, before I get all pessimistic and gloomy due to the chassis being rubbish.

Or maybe he is... People who suffer with angina will tell you that when they have an attack they find that more effort results in more suffering....

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Even Boullier said "the chasis is too heavy to race" on an interview for an interview to AS http://motor.as.com/motor/2017/03/14/fo ... 73547.html
