Hopes for a McLaren-Honda breakthrough this winter appear to have been dashed after the team completed just 250 laps in the first pre-season test. After a hydraulic fault sparked a small fire on Jenson Buttons car on Wednesday, team-mate Fernando Alonso was restricted to a trifling three laps on the final day of the first test at the Circuit de Catalunya.The teams total of 257 was the second lowest of any outfit, McLaren completely just three laps more than Manor, despite the team prioritising work on the reliability of the MP4-31 through the first four of only eight days of pre-season running. In stark contrast, world champions Mercedes completed 675 laps and over 1950 miles during the four days of testing. The fastest time set this week by either McLaren was a lap of 1:26.082 on soft tyres by Alonso on Day Two which still left the eight-time constructors champions four seconds adrift of the lead pace. Conclusions from F1 testing Have Ferrari and Mercedes moved further clear of the field? After Ron Dennis, the McLaren chief executive, admitted that a sabbatical for the two-time world champion was possible, Alonso insisted after Tuesdays running he would see out his three-year contract with the team.Pre-season continues with the second and final test next week in Barcelona when the pressure on McLaren to produce both mileage and pace will be acute. We should have a better idea about the competitive order next week, team boss Eric Boullier told Sky Sports News HQ. There will also be upgrades from Honda towards what should be towards the definitive 2016 homologation.Sparking fears that McLarens engine providers, who endured a torrid season in 2015 after returning to the sport, had failed to find a solution to their problems over the winter, Honda announced earlier this week that their F1 boss Yasuhisa Arai would stand down next month.

Indian defender Rupinder Pal Singh believes the junior mens hockey team has what it takes to win the World Cup, which begins in Lucknow on December 8.They have worked really hard over the past two years. They have everything a champion team needs - a good coach in Harendra Singh, and very good players, Rupinder told ESPN. Personally, all of us feel this group can come up trumps.Two of the players in the junior Indian team are defenders and penalty-corner specialists: Varun Kumar and Harmanpreet Singh. Harmanpreet, in fact, stood in for Rupinder at the Champions Trophy in London in June, where India secured their best ever second position with Harmanpreet deemed the best junior player of the tournament, and Rupinder believes these two players could hold the key to Indias fortunes.Harmanpreet and Varun are both very good players, he said. I didnt know much about Varun personally, but I followed his performance in the last tournament they played [the four nations event in Valencia in October, where India beat reigning junior Worlld Cup holders Germany in the final], where he was in good scoring form.dddddddddddd The thing about drag-flicks is that the more you score, the more confident you become.Rupinder, who will be seen wearing the colours of the 2014 Hockey India League (HIL) champions Delhi Waveriders once again in January 2017, cautioned the junior team against complacency, a factor he held responsible for their 10th-place finish at the last edition in New Delhi in 2013.In the last junior World Cup, they relaxed and paid the price, said Rupinder about Indias campaign, where they beat Canada after losing narrowly to Netherlands, and then were eliminated on goal difference by Korea. You have to play as a team in order to be successful, and their first goal must be to qualify for the quarter-finals.India, who won the tournament in 2001, are placed in pool D alongside England, Canada and South Africa in the 16-team event.
