It has to be so annoying that even those "small" issues can take several hours to identify and quite some time fix due to the complexity of the new power trains. They lost one day of testing because of that.

~There were bigger problems at Williams, as Pat Symmonds explained to amus: "We finally found the error/issue. The fuel pump was broken. Diagnostics in those complex systems are not that easy. We hope we can repair it quickly and get out onto the track before the session ends at 5:30pm"Bei Williams gibt es wohl größere Probleme, wie Technikchef Pat Symonds gegenüber auto motor und sport erklärt: "Wir haben jetzt endlich den Fehler gefunden. Die Benzinpumpe ist defekt. Bei diesen komplizierten Systemen ist die Diagnose nicht so einfach. Wir hoffen, die Reparatur schnell hinzubekommen und vor dem Ende der Sitzung um 17.30 Uhr noch einmal auf die Strecke zu gehen."
There might be quite a difference between 'failed' and 'not working how it should'. The pump may well have been producing fuel flow just in the wrong manner!MadMatt wrote:In what world a failed fuel pump is difficult to diagnose?RZS10 wrote:According to Pat Symmonds Williams had a broken fuel pump.
