Interview with Masamitsu Motohashi in Japanese.
Maybe someone can translate the highlights? Maybe @Ispano?

I've been a bit busy with work and can't translate the whole article but here are the tidbits:
- The results have been a little disappointing considering the potential of the car that should be there.
- The issue is that AT haven't quite gotten to grips with the car. They don't quite understand where the performance is lacking but is saying it's more an issue of getting the right set up and getting the car in it's sweet spot. They don't feel they went in the wrong setup direction, but the results don't reflect their actual performance. (so perhaps there is a strategy issue)
- It was unfortunate that Pierre suffered engine troubles and then subsequently retired from the race due to gearbox issues, but the race data demonstrated good performance up until his retirement.
I feel RB/AT/HRD have some work to do to understand why their performance is suffering considering their PU should be close to on par with Mercedes. Rob Smedley had a nice breakdown of where the Red Bull was losing time and it appears to be during the middle and exits of medium speed corners. The RB16 matches the Mercedes in Speedtraps but it also seems that Max carries more speed deeper into the corners than Hamilton. Either it's a driveability issue of the PUs power delivery or Max needs to carry a little less speed and let the car settle with minimal lock before putting down the power. Hamilton's angle of entry was far less than Max's and seemed he needed less lock to get around it.
