*edit*McLaren says Vandoorne encountered some set-up niggles after the second installation lap, but it's nothing major and after a few tweaks should be back out on track shortly.

Not being an expert but I would have thought that you could run the engine laid 45% to the left and to the right to simulate the oil being pushed to the side under G's.Henne wrote:We won't know until they have actually fixed that issue. Redesigning an entire oil tank isn't something they can do that quick. I'm afraid these issues don't show up in testing on the bench since you have no G forces applying to the oil inside the tank.noxroxafox wrote:It is worrying though; First day, potential design flaw in its Oil tank.. pretty fundamental. Especially when they've fitted a 'new one' yesterday which was potentially flawed too. They reported yesterday that a new one would arrive tomorrow. Did they already fitted the new one today? Or what.. If its still flawed.. I'm worried even more..Henne wrote:
I guess they just found the correct oil sump plug
