If/when the power unit issues are figured out will the rest of the car be ready to compete? I sure hope so but it's going to be a lot of work.
At some point I thought I heard mentioned that they may have been running at reduced power/throttle/rpm or something to reduce heat, and try to get some laps in. If they can get the powerplant under control, based on Honda's apparent success with aero on the Indy cars, they may be ok with the F1's body package, too.
