Honda, Get the F out!
I just saw the latest F1 race, and I'm so disgusted. What the hell are they doing? How many years have Honda/McLaren failed now?
This is NOT OK! How hard can it be? Cry in TV, bow and commit seppuku, but GET OUT if you can not build an engine that work for ONE LAP! Even the totally useless Sauber can finish a race. McLaren must sue those clowns to the moon and get a proper engine. Let me tell you one thing, I will never ever buy a Honda car... |

I thought the 'F' was for "finger" as in get your fingers out and improve.
Bit of a poor rant really as you must have failed to notice Stoffel Vandoorne's Mclaren Honda completing 51 laps and finishing ahead of the "totally useless" Saubers. And why sue someone for providing you with something free of charge? |

It's not often you see something as ridiculous as Honda's F1 engine, but I have now!

It's nothing more than a PR failure.
If it was Sauber copping the abuse, we'd say so sad, too bad. But because it was a high level team with higher history.... However, they are basically back to Year 0 with all the changes they made to this year's engine. And McLaren's inner turmoil hasn't helped. |

When I first read this I thought "But there is no 'F' in HONDA".
Then I realised that was what the post starter wanted... |

I don't actually know what problems there are, engine mechanical/software related/instalment/ or all the lot ? however I'm surprised that after all this time that things haven't improved.

Why do we need another Honda thread? Can we not consolidate them?

True. Closed, this one and isn't really worth anything. There is plenty of opportunity to have an interesting discussion on this.
