Honda have played down the latest incident involving their power unit as Pierre Gasly was told to stop his Toro Rosso car at Silverstone.

The Frenchman, who finished the FP2 session ahead of the British Grand Prix in P13, was unable to do any race simulation running on Friday after being forced to come to a halt with 30 minutes left on the clock.

Gasly pulled off the track at Turn 3 and felt it was a engine-related problem, but Honda have tried to ease concerns by stating that the power unit is an old one and has clocked up high mileage.
