Ron Dennis held court in the McLaren motorhome for a fascinating 40 minutes or so, touching on numerous topics surrounding his team and F1 in general. Of course, the immediate focus centered on the MP4-30's lack of mileage today but Dennis said this of the team's engine schedule with Honda:
"Our race engines are two or three steps away from where we are now, therefore we’re still running development engines and will continue to run development engines through to the last test.
"The engine is an integral part of our size zero policy. The car is phenomenally tightly packaged in the back end, which has given huge scope to Peter and his team and they have taken full advantage of it.
"The level of detail and the precision of manufacturer of the components has surpassed anything any McLaren standards of the past. The elegance of some of the aerodynamic solutions as they’re packaged into suspension, brake ducts is done to a level we’ve never been able to achieve before."
