Well you can't really say that at this point. Sure, the engine has been a huge disappointment so far, but from many accounts the aero seems to be working great, certainly a huge improvement over last year.
I don't have the slightest idea how one could say that. How can you assess the car's aero when the car is just not performing ? I do not think it is possible. This is what some were trying to say last year about Ferrari, just because they needed to find something good to say: car/chassis is good, the engine (PU omg) is the problem. B/S. Both were crap.
The car is fighting for last place and they have to thank marussia for not being last. For me that is not getting one thing right, does not matter what because at the end it all needs to work in synthony. It is a total emabarassment of gigamegagalactic proportions. No escape from it. Button can say whatever he says, what could he say really

?!
While we are on the topic of impulsive opinions based on very little information let me go ahead and make my impulsive decision. Based on FP2 where JB ended up 7th and FA ended up 11th in FP2 I think they are brilliant and are so fast they can affect the worlds orbit....
....now back to reality. FP1 was a test session where there were many new features on their car. No piece is going to work exactly 100% of how you expect therefore the more new pieces on the car! the more time you have to spend dialling in the new components, I.e. The more time that needs to be spent on setup. McLaren ran FP1, collected data and changed what they needed to change in FP2 and the car has shown considerable improvement. Granted the change in track temperature may have something to do with this.
Let's all wait till FP3 to see if what they have learnt from the two cars in FP1 and 2 has been used and see where the cars stand for this race.
