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.
