Little bird told me Honda's Canada upgrade will raise some eyebrows.....

I hate you, now expectations will be high, and we all know what have happened in the past when expectations with McHonda were high....

Anycase I really hope that little bird is not a raven

If Honda use tokes in Canada, will the drivers be hit by grid penalties? I'm bit confused about that cycle after 4-5 races ect

No. They can use any engine as long as they don't exceed 5 per season. E'g they could use the Monaco one in Hungary again if they wanted to etc.

Yes, correct. Thanks

Tokens will be used in Canada

I guess they learned their lesson to let the results do the talking. The way I see it, if they can get their fuel consumption under control they can easily be a second per lap faster in the race, at the very least at the beginning of the race, they're actually not that bad at the end of the race. Allowing them to have consistent performance throughout is a huge step forward for them.

I will never ever trust a single word coming out of Boullier's big mouth……He is willing to say anything to keep his position safe. But I believe Dennis is not blind.

That is quite harsh.
- his quotes during the downfall of Lotus (with the promise that everybody is getting paid) is what every manager should do in a situation like that. If you start spreading "we can't pay", all suppliers and customers run away and you're bankrupt within hours.
- his quotes that McLaren is going to be in a good position soon comes from Ron Dennis, who desperately needs a big sponsor. You won't get a 20-40mln a year sponsor when you finish midfield at most.
At companies like McLaren, with a good and strong management team, what is being said in the press is not the same is being said in the boardroom.
Above all, he is a manager for a company with a few hundred employees.

I haven't logged on in awhile and realized my inbox is flooded. So I apologize if I don't answer each one. Most of them are asking the same thing. When is the next upgrade, when are the tokens going to be used, how are they going to be used, how good is the chassis, etc. Ironically some of the people demanding answers are also the ones who claim I'm a fake or a fraud.... . Why ask me then??? Silly boys.

Obviously I can't answer those questions. My only comment is don't pay too much value to articles put out by journalists. Unless they are direct quotes from Hasegawa-san or Nakamura-san, there is probably much speculation and little else in these articles. Lots of work needed on both sides. Lots of improvement needed on both sides. Improvements are coming....

I look forward to meeting a couple of you in Silverstone.

I believe in Honda's capabilities that they will improve and are aiming for the best results, but i also agree it will take time to deliver the results so there is no point in pointing fingers at Mclaren or Honda as both a team together right now and i simply believe they will deliver required results soon.

PS: Wazari i wish i could be there at silverstone to watch a F1 race it has always been my dream that someday i will get to watch it on track [at Mclaren's home track] but currently i am not in position to do so.

Thanks for the update "Wazari"

For those of you asking for updates:
As he is employed by a huge company he will have signed a Non Disclosure Agreement which will prohibit discussion on anything relating to the Honda McLaren F1, the engine and if/when updates will be happen.

This agreement will be "watertight"...

Unbelievable people are giving you a +1 for not saying anything. Quotes from your 'san'boys have shown to be as reliable as those from 'political' Boullier.
