Honda Dismisses Alonso's Engine Concerns

Fernando Alonso repeatedly alerted Honda to what he believed was a developing engine problem during the Baku Grand Prix, warning the team he might need to retire. However, Shintaro Orihara, Honda's track-side engineer, stated that based on the data collected at the circuit, they observed nothing unusual with the power unit.

The Aston Martin driver had already been struggling with the known power deficit of the Honda engine, making the additional concerns more pressing. Despite Alonso's insistence that something was wrong, Honda maintained their position that the engine was performing as expected. tbzikra.com
