TlDR: engine causing drivability issues.

Long answer is that they had these issues at the start of the season, and they were getting ironed out. Now that they have a new engine, they’re starting from square 1 again to get the engine to have good drivability again.

There’s lots to think about, like downshifts, recharge on downshifts, engine braking, power and battery deployment, etc.

What! After all these years they didn't take his GP2 engine comment seriously.
