MW: Tests and need to solve problems

In the middle of the first day of the test team leader McLaren MW commented on problems encountered on Jenson Button's car, which had a few hours to spend in the garage.
Refused the fuel pump is having problems similar to those that led to outright Lewis Hamilton on the twentieth round of the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi, but the team made adjustments to the design of the fuel system to avoid recurrence of such problems.
Alas, in the morning, the new system has withstood only three rounds, then Jenson was forced to stop, there were red flags, and the team lost a few precious hours...



MW: "unfortunately, we are again faced with the failure of the fuel pump as last year in Abu Dhabi. It is a pity that this has happened, but tests are needed to solve such problems. It's good that it happened on the first day of tests, and not in the race.
The irony is that we have developed a completely new project and use a completely different pump, to avoid problems arising in Abu Dhabi.
