First of all thank you for starting these Topics. =D>

May i suggest changing the Thread Title to "2016 Mclaren Honda F1 Team - Honda" ?
It looks weird without the Honda in the Team Name.

2015 position: 9th (181 pts)

IIRC they scored 27 points.

[Writinglife]

isn't 181 the number of grid place penalties they had?

That would be too good, but it was a little more:

McLaren-Honda – 320 places
Button: 165 (Canada: 15, Austria: 25, Belgium: 50, Italy: 5, Mexico: 70)
Alonso: 155 (Austria: 20, Belgium: 55, Italy: 10, Russia: 35, Mexico: 10, Brazil: 25)

Strangely it is backing for Jenson Button by the UK division. I guess this is an extension of an already scaled back deal that existed this season.

Not the big deal that Ferrari have.

[RicME85]

Yeah it will just be a continuation of the deal that has him making cameos alongside Jessica Ennis et al

[lebesset]

jenson has proved to be extremely good news for santander in the uk
don't know how they stand with alonso in spain
