I don't know why McLaren didn't buy out one of the teams that went bust last season & used them as the test for the Honda engines, the cars are going to be nowhere this season & they have already found it hard to get a main sponsor, furthermore Alonso isn't going to be happy, ok he knew what he was joining with a new engine in the car, but cannot of imagined it being as bad as this.
It is ok for the pundits to say that McLaren will improve this season as they sort out the issues, all the cars have issues, even the Mercedes has issues & they will get better through the year, it is not like everyone else is going to stand still while McLaren catch up, i think it might have been better it McLaren had just built their own engine, then it would be understandable because what's going to happen in say three years time if McLaren are still bumbling about in the middle of the pack & Honda decide it's not worth the investment & pull out.
