2018 would be more likely if it this were to happen at all.
I do hope that Honda quickly sorts out its engine issues. Reading the testing Barcelona testing reports was very very painful.

I agree completely. VERY difficult to walk away from that kind of money, but let's face it, McLaren is now selling street cars as a part of their business - directly competing with Ferrari. Being the laughing stock of the F1 paddock won't sit well with McLaren at all.
If 2017 doesn't go well, I can see McLaren making a change and Honda throwing in the towel (again). The amount or resources this program takes up has to be enormous. If they're not getting what they need out of it, then why do it.
Tough one for sure. I'd like to see them succeed. We need other manufacturers in the sport.
