I wonder why they didn't just say something along those lines from the outset. I hate the mushroom approach to things.
Surely just saying early in the piece that their ERS isn't working efficiently would save face to a certain degree. They could then focus on delivering performance and improvements where they can.
The alternative to this, and apparently the option they choose to go with, is just pretend there isn't a problem, say you're on top of it and that improvements are near. It haas been embarrassing and I'm sure they have done both the McLaren and Honda names irreversible damage in some peoples eyes. I have been a huge fan of both for as long as I can remember and even then I feel they have betrayed me this year. Haha (need to add a laugh in there to show that isn't entirely serious)
