Now that STR giving Honda a bit more help I presume, and the result is instant; whilst McLaren, still toying at the back end of the field with the same PU as RBR/Renault etc. |
In my opinion this was the biggest single problem in the Mac / Honda partnership. And Mclaren being Mclaren, they refused to take any blame, but were quick to blame Honda for everything. I remember them saying they had the best chassis, but were let down by the engine.
Well, this year they have the same engine as RB and Renault, but are way behind those 2 teams.
