There is also a strong possibility that Arai san actually meant that with his comments. Rather than criticising the McLaren chassis and bodywork, he was only trying to say let's see if the PSU goes just as well when it's installed.

Arai also said this: "[Engine] unreliability has meant lots of parts were changed in winter testing and so things like flow-vis and taking data has been done during the season in FP1, due to the unreliability in the winter."
I read that as Honda taking responsibility for their part of the problem.
