The drivability of the new engine seemed poor... Alonso was complaining quite a lot. Not a steady session.
Is that something that Honda can improve in only an hour?
Alonso did say that the PU was doing what they were asking it to do. So maybe it's a change they have to make with the PU or setup changes. He was clearly having problems slowing the car down for certain corners.
What the point to arguing or even mention it in the first fp1 and the first official Test with all the new parts and engine +components? They definitely need even 2-3 races to dial in everything.

ALO said the "engine is doing what he want", not "what we want". As in, bad.

Looking at the telemetry. Alonsos Aston seems to max out at 294kmh compared to lindblad 308kmh and gasly 314kmh. This is final straight after turn 14

Pretty sure I heard what I said I heard. Regardless, maybe it's an adjustable thing. We're locked down till after the Sprint Race once sprint quali starts.

How's speed trap look compared to others? Never mind, I saw post above. AM looks to be firmly in the midfield mix.

Drivability etc, are bad and they are so good. It is also good. Still there is room to improve

Alonso complained about huge vibrations on the straight. Not about the tyres. Pre lockup.
