Mclaren Honda 2015

You do remember they were back markers at the start of 09, and started winning races towards the end of the season right? Don't count out McLaren's ability to develop a car, also PU development takes a lot longer than chassis development.

No, I don´t remember that. I remember Lewis finishind 3rd in first race of 2009, then he was disqualified because of lying to stewarts, but the car was competitive enough to finish in the podium.

In next races 7th, 6th and 4th. I don´t consider that to be back markers

You have shoddy memory then...

Maybe you can´t read, but the results you posted are exactly the same I posted. A car finishing top 10 on all first 5 GPs is not a back marker IMO, if it is for you then ok.

Also, the reason Lewis was DSQ in first race are irrelevant to evaluate McLaren perfomance, he didn´t got the points, but he finished in the podium. Far from a back marker IMO

Erika and Greyhawk on their well deserved summer break: https://twitter.com/hondapu14/status/631102287771996160

I really don't get that. Who is it aimed at, and is it supposed to be funny?

The honda PU's have their own twitter Accounts (Hondapu22 aka Erika is Button's Engine, Hondapu14 aka Greyhawk is Alonso's Engine) since the beginning of the Season and just like everybody else they are posting Holiday Pictures. Make what you want of it.

Oh I know it's a Twitter account, but it's all a bit "Who gives a ---" with 99% of what they post. Is it just aimed at the Japanese F1 crazies?

[Thunder]

I guess so. Sometimes it's quite funny to read what they have to say after they blew up.

Are you from England or Germany?

A lot of companies seem to wish to emulate NASA's success with one of their missions, where their PR officer started a twitter account as the Mars rover. It went off, now everyone wants a slice as if that's how it works.

England (but everybody tells me that my characteristics are very German)

I don't think that has much to do with anything, I just don't get the point of the accounts because they don't add value. It's the equivalent to the idiots that create Facebook pages for their cats, dogs and cars.

[Thunder]

It's a marketing gizmo. If you don't like it , ignore it.

And what would it have to to with being German or English?

[Facts Only]

You know what would be much better marketing... spending the money on designing and building an engine that isnt getting trounced every race. I dont see HPP or Maranello wasting time and effort with this sort of rubbish, you can be silly and irreverent when you are winning but when you're losing it makes you look like a complete bunch of amateurs.

[Thunder]

Yeahh because the Person behind these Accounts is an Honda Engineer that cuts off development Time to post Pictures on Twitter....

I understand the Summer break is long and boring but are we really making a drama out of that now? Come on guys.
