Honda to replace Alonso’s power unit overnight before Singapore GP

Honda has decided to replace Fernando Alonso’s power unit overnight before the Singapore Grand Prix, following his feedback in qualifying. Shintaro Orihara, Honda’s trackside general manager and chief engineer, confirmed the decision after the session.

Alonso told media he had experienced engine problems throughout the Sprint and that he seemed to be losing time at corner exits in qualifying. He said Honda needed to check whether the turbo was working properly.
