"Despite firing up successfully at the MTC last week, the car was predominantly affected by electrical issues during the day.
"The subsequent dismantling, inspection and re-installation of several major components ultimately meant we were unable to conduct any running today.
"We’re re-installing key systems on the car overnight, with the expectation that Jenson [Button] will begin the car’s installation programme tomorrow."
