It didn't expect it would be appropriate to use the word meme on a technical forum but that's what Mclaren Honda is turning into.

It was already a "meme" team after Alonso´s epic sunbathin moments.

I was first 2 years quiet and pretty optimistic. But 3rd year in the row unforgiving. When you cannot figure out just basis of the car is just bananas.

Yeah there was tricky token system and late coming to scene also dint help.

But at least this year they will have freedom to change everything after couple races. Mclaren had no other option to just support Japanese colleges and even try to chear up the frustrated engineers. Maybe some organization reconsideration should took place.

Would be interesting to hear track observers today when the car is going a bit faster......

Is it me or does this engine seem more unreliable that previous years?

the situation is difficult, Honda tryed to be agressive, it didnt really work, BUT there are no tokens and situation could well turn around as the season progresses, start will be difficult for sure.

i think first step will be seen in AUS already when Mclaren will be in my opinion faster then Sauber, from Barcelona race i expect bigger gains.

i think Alonso's word yesterday will wake Honda up a bit.

Only 2 days the engine didn't fail this year. Don't know if there was a failure on the filming days but it's safe to bet that it did. Probably about equal to previous years.

In your face now!
I've been on track for two days, McLaren and Honda are nowhere to be seen! Few laps, many problems, and a frustrated Alonso... One thing you don't want in your team is a frustrated Alonso.
I'm gonna say it again: Honda are amateurs and should have prepared better! This is embarrassing and frankly really really sad and pathetic now...
Maybe that was me, but your response lacks eloquence and is tactless.

I recommend you take your time before posting. The old saying "Would an idiot do that...", is sound advice in this case.
