While the 2018 Honda engine roared to life for the first time in the Toro Rosso factory yesterday, the Italian-Austrian team published a mock press release on their Twitter account addressing invented questions about the supposed ignition difficulties of the Japanese engine.<\/p>\n
The questions asked and the answers provided by Toro Rosso are as follows:<\/p>\n
Q\/ Did it take 6 attempts to start the engine?<\/p>\n
No, the engine started on the first try!<\/p>\n
Q\/ Did you realize that the engine image in the video is last year’s Honda?<\/p>\n
Yes, we have an eye…we are the ones who labeled it. We couldn’t reveal this year’s one, could we?<\/p>\n
Q\/ Did the engine explode?<\/p>\n
It’s quite the opposite, he took off like a rocket!<\/p>\n
Q\/ Was your factory engulfed in flames after the start-up?<\/p>\n
Our factory is in perfect condition, thank you for your concern!<\/p>\n
Q\/ “Good luck, you’ll need it!”<\/p>\n
Thank you, but we don’t really need it! We’ll take it anyway.<\/i><\/p>\n
\nThere is plenty of interest around our fire-up, this FAQ might help a bit \ud83d\ude09 pic.twitter.com\/tPTKcMc0zY<\/a><\/p>\n
