They may have done, Peter, but if they did it certainly didn't replicate what they experience as soon as they packaged it in the McLaren. Now, that may have been because of something in the McLaren that set off a resonance which induced the vibration which may not have happened in their trials.

No evidence to back up the above theory; just my thoughts. A bit like the problems that RBR and STR had with the Renault unit initially; all about the packaging.
