Marko is quoted in full saying:
"The new (Honda) update, which could not be properly used in Canada due to unfortunate circumstances, brought three tenths of laptime," he said.
"So the deal with Honda is extremely positive for us in every way. Sport, technical and financial," added Marko.
So in that context it sounds like even with the improvement, it has potential to yield far more. The unfortunate circumstances could be new be the crash, but what about a new fuel not arriving? Or calibration on Gasly's second new unit not at expected levels, maybe to test MGU-H integration?
Either way, Red Bull are really positively backing Honda. Must of been pretty good info and access they've been given.
