The new McLaren Honda is most certainly a major disappointment, but the problems is, how can McLaren sever their ties with Honda and use another engine next year? Who's engine would they use, you can't just pop to Northampton and pick up a van load of DFV's to slot it, it's not that simple anymore.
More importantly, Honda are suffering a number of major egg on face moments, these engine problems and failures are extremely public and not portraying the image a company like Honda wants. They have got to do whatever they need to so as to sort the engines out, then, if the chassis proves to be rubbish, then McLaren have got to sort that out.
I've never been a huge fan of the steamroller that McLaren used to be, but do think it's extremely sad to see the embarrassment that they appear to have become lately.
