Eric Boullier says McLaren are not yet focused on establishing their position in F1s 2016 pecking order, with reliability top of their job list. McLarens early form in pre-season testing was always likely to receive close scrutiny as the paddock waits to learn if the team and engine suppliers Honda have recovered from their wretched first season back together.The tone for the partnerships 2015 was set when they completed fewer than 100 laps at the first test, but the new MP4-31 has already sailed past that mark inside three days. Fernando Alonso completed 119 laps on Tuesday alone, with the only hint of unreliability coming on Wednesday when Jenson Button was stopped by a hydraulic leak. However, McLarens pace has proved more difficult to read with the team yet to finish higher than sixth on the timesheet.Speaking midway through Day Three, Boullier said McLaren were simply focused on collecting data on their new car. Compared with the others, I have no idea, [where we stand] as it is too early and it was not the target of the first two days, said McLarens racing director.We had a lot to fix on the reliability and running [from 2015] and, like I said before, over the winter we had to build a car on engineering brains, software and computers so we have numbers and we need to find out if their correlate.So we have spent the first two days seeing if these numbers are correlating because its important to put them back in the system for the future development of the car.Boullier believes McLaren have arrived into pre-season on the back of a very successful winter. We couldnt do more. We have revised our car completely and we have reinforced our cooperation with Honda, the Frenchman said.There was a lot of travel back and forth between Woking and Japan this winter, so its been a very successful winter.The McLaren chief was appearing alongside Yusuke Hasegawa, the new head of Hondas F1 project after Yasuhisa Arai was moved aside in a reorganisation announced after the first day of testing.Hasegawa said the Japanese firm was working hard to turn its F1 fortunes around, but still needed time to bridge the gap to the front. New Honda boss Yusuke Hasegawa has confirmed that he is feeling the pressure of his new role Asked to assess how much ground they had made up to world champions Mercedes, he replied: We dont know the current position.Still, I think they have an advantage so we need to pick up more [performance].The Sky Sports F1 Digital team will be providing live commentary from dawn until dusk on all four days of both Barcelona tests while Sky Sports News HQ will also deliver live updates from trackside.

Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson?accepted the Philadelphia Phillies $17.2 million qualifying offer on Monday.Hellickson was one of 10 players to receive qualifying offers from their teams. Monday was the deadline for players to either accept or reject the offers.New York Mets second baseman Neil Walker was the only other player to accept the qualifying offer.Eight other free agents did not accept the offers from their former teams by Mondays 5 p.m. ET deadline: outfielders Jose Bautista (Blue Jays), Yoenis Cespedes (Mets), Ian Desmond (Rangers), Dexter Fowler (Chicago Cubs) and Mark Trumbo (Orioles), designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (Blue Jays); closer Kenley Jansen (Los Angeles Dodgers); and third baseman Justin Turner (Dodgers).Hellickson said at the end of this season that, although he had hoped to sign a multiyear contract this offseason, hed love to be back next year with the Phillies.Its not the stability I wanted, but its a lot of money for one year, Hellickson told The News Journal in a telephone interview. I believe in myself to go out there and have another good year, even a better year and put myself in position to get the stability in the next offseason.He told the newspaper that he received interest from several teams, but those clubs were reluctant to part with a first-round draft pick to sign him. Aside from teams picking in the first 10 slots of the draft, teams forfeit a first-round pick if they sign a player who has received a qualifying offer.dddddddddddd Teams in the top 10 forfeit their second-highest pick.Hellickson said he considered rejecting the qualifying offer, but changed his mind because of the draft pick restrictions associated with signing him.Ive been playing six years to get to this point and its just unfortunate that free agents like myself have this first-round pick attached to us, Hellickson told The News Journal. It sucks.The guys that are free agents this year, its tough for me to not laugh at people who say this is a weak free-agent market, he continued. Its tough with the uncertainty of the market right now to turn down that much money for one year, especially for a team I enjoyed playing for and a city I love playing for.Hellickson, 29, was 12-10 with a 3.71 ERA last season. He tied career highs with 32 starts and 189 innings pitched and struck out a career-best 154 batters, while walking just 45.His 12 victories were the most by a Phillies pitcher last season.The Phillies acquired Hellickson in a 2015 trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
